[Healeys] caliper rebuild

[George Vernau Sr.]

I recently rebuilt the front calipers on my BJ8 with new SS pistons from Moss
and new seals, also from Moss.  I had a really hard time getting the pistons in the 
calipers with the stiff new seals and managed to damage a seal so the right front
leaked all the fluid out. I got another seal kit from Moss and the same thing happened 
again. Does anyone have any suggestions for installing the pistons without damaging 
the seals,  Could I put the seals in hot water to soften them up?  I have not split the
calipers so there isn't much room to "finess" the pistons. I don't remember any problems
when I rebuilt them about 15 years ago. Any ideas or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks-
