Okay So I've stripped down my 2.5 callipers painted them and am now putting new seals and dust boots on them..

Is there any secret to fitting the dust boot? its easy to pop into the ridge on the piston but feeding the outer edge into the gap between the calliper and piston is tedious as hell!! I'm tackling it with a small flat head but is there a better way?

yours sincerely.. a very frustrated zoner :x

Put the boot on before you put the piston in, and then get an assistant to spread to the boot while you slot the piston in
