Need urgent help, Caliper piston came out! Guys, I'm not going into detail how it came out because its jus plain stupid but now I need help puting it back in.
How do i put the piston back in? Do i just push it in and then slide the rubber over it?
Do I need to buy a new rubber boot that goes over the piston? And does it need an O ring?

I suggest save your a headack go to a parts house and get a reman , as doing the rebuild your self is not bad but the first time can be a problem,
Isuggest fill the cyl with fluid before install then leave the bleeder open and let it gravity bleed, this way there is no need to pump the petal to bleed the complete sys.

LoL don't feel bad. Did the same thing on my Blazer one time b/c I wasn't paying attention. I did what "SS SLP2" recommended and went down to the part store for a remanufactured one. They're surprisingly inexpensive.
