What's the trick....

..to installing the new piston seal onto the caliper and getting the same seal to seat in the caliper?  I had to stop as I was getting frustrated trying to get the caliper put back together.  Thank you for any helpful tips.

Are you referring to the boot seal?  If so, I install it on the bottom of the piston, tuck the OD into the groove in the caliper body, then push the piston into the bore.  Last step, seat the boot into the groove in the piston.

Yes, that's the one I am referring to.  Feel kind of stupid now, since I didn't think of that.  Oh well, cheers, thank you!
