Installing New Piston Seal In Caliper

gently worked around and into the groove using only your clean fingers to seat it.
2. Coat the new piston boot with clean brake fluid.
3. Position the dust boot over the piston after coating it with brake fluid.
CAUTION: Force applied to the piston to seat it in the bore must be applied uniformly to avoid cocking and binding of the piston.
