Slyguy; as you said, it's a nasty job. I'd replace with new ones vs rebuilding those and 'git 'er done with. They're one of the cheaper air cooled P parts and in abundant supply. Two of my boot retainers were deformed like yours - likely a failure at some point that let the axle flail around without restraint until the car stopped. The oval can be reshaped to round using a vice and large socket or anything metal that is similar diameter to the opening.
Enjoy.
