Anyone have any tips on reassembling brake calipers?
Smitty has been a great help, but I'm still fighting this thing. If anyone has some additional tips I would greatly appreciate it.
My problem is getting that boot on around the piston in the caliper. There is a little groove inside the piston wall and I know the boot has to sit inside that groove. However, when I try to set the boot inside that groove it seems like there is just way too much excess boot. At first I thought I had accidentally used the front boot (since it's bigger) but those ones are much larger so that isn't the problem. If anyone has the time to give me some detailed instructions I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
