piston back. Lubricate the boot with rubber grease to avoid twisting the piston boot. If the piston boot is twisted, back it out so it is positioned
properly.
NOTE: Be careful when moving the piston back in the caliper, brake fluid might overflow from the master cylinder's reservoir.

not to damage the pin boots.

brake pedal will restore the normal pedal stroke.
