I think I situated the groove in the seal facing towards the Pistons. Is that correct?

One is much worse than the other, but both leak. These were new seals, and I sanded down the pistons with a high grit wet/dry sandpaper. What did I do wrong? Are there any critical tips for installing new seals? The pistons were not easy to push into the cylinders, but not too hard either. I figured a snug fit was to be expected. One caliper I pushed the pistons in dry, and the other caliper I lubed with some brake fluid before pushing them in, but I cant remember which is which. The seals don't look torn or scratched... maybe the pistons are out of spec? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
