Hi all, I have an annoying problem - I seem totally unable to re-insert my brake pistons into the calipers without damaging the piston seal. Does anyone have any handy hints? The reason for the overhaul was that I noticed there was an outer seal missing on my left caliper and I decided to check out the right side which had no outer seals <sigh>... anyway, wanted then to check that the pistons were not corroded (one was). Now cannot get the blasted thing reassembled <grrrrr>. I have tried smearing a generous amount of brake fluid over the seal and the piston before re-insertion, but still have no joy - I always seem to 'pinch' the seal. I have called my local garage and they will install them for a very reasonable price - however I am a bit narked that I am unable to do this procedure by myself. Any advice would be gratefully received.
BTW I am not exactly the most mechanically able person in the world and this is simply my hobby car - so if you think it's best for the garge to handle this then please say so [;)] Cheers!
