Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fit the rubber dust boots around
the front calliper pistons?   I am rebuilding my callipers and have new
pistons and a seal kit.  No problem fitting the seal and the piston fits
nicely without the boot but I can't get  the boot lip to fit in its groove in
the calliper body.  The callipers are the type that don't use the wire
retaining ring.  Possible problems:  Poor fitting after market parts, old
dried up rubber,  ???   What about using a brake pad spreader to force the
piston and boot into place?
