Boots: I unsnap the gaiters from the bottom as they're 'easier' to get back on.
Timing belts: the original, 11 year-old / 67,000 mile, belt that came off the green lady was perished on both sides and when flexed the white (glass-fibre?) cords were visible in the cracks (and looking a bit frayed at the roots of some teeth) - hence the general shock-horror at the state of the belt.
