Holy cow - thought I'd rebuild my caliper....sounds real easy....NOT
There's 2 replaceable rubber parts - The Boot and the seal. The manual says install the seal in the cylindedr wall, then install the boot, then lube the piston with brake fluid an insert it into the cylinder. Not that easy! Well the boot is too tight to easily slide over the piston. So I tried installing the boot on the piston - slide it to the end of the piston, and try to get the boot to set in the groove on the cylinder but that didn't work very well. No room to work that seal into place....
Any tricks or tools for this job? or just stick with spending the bucks for a rebuilt caliper......
bummer
