u/Hyposuction

Im trying to replace the boots. Nothing is wrong, just saw a lil tear in the boot while I was under there for last oil change. Got a boot kit from the stealership, and thought it would be easy, but I cant get this tulip part off. Ive removed the snap ring and that thing still won't come off. Thanks for yalls help!
