Rebuilding the front Calipers I am having a bitch of a time getting the boot to tuck in and stay in while trying to put the new piston back in.
I have watched movies on how to, and use brake fluid to keep it slippery, but just having no luck. Every movie I see deals with alot of single piston, which is alot easier to see all around. Found 1 you tube on a twin piston and I'm doing something wrong with my big fat fingers!

Well I tried something different and within 15 min all were done.
Instead of getting the bottom piece all slippery like it says and shows, I kept it dry right out of the bag and it seals very quickly.

I rebuilt mine a couple of months ago and it was a pain to figure out at first too! I tried a couple different ways and couldn't get the boots to seat the same. Eventually I tried a different way and they went together pretty quick. I know I didn't offer any advice, just wanted you to know you're not the only one who's had difficulty with those damn things!
