Rear caliper seals

PostPost by: jerryh » Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:32 pm

Hello
Can anyone advise on how to fit the dust cover seal on the rear calipers, I've tried a couple of ways and neither are proving successful.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Cheers
Jerry

With pistons out - push dust seal lip into groove in caliper - now wiggle piston in.

Simple when you have done a few.

You cannot get the dust seal in with the piston already in (I tried for a long time).
