Re: With the dust seals ...

I have a set of front s calipers that i rebuilt. Before i install them can some one tell me the proper watt to seat the new piston dust shields? I spoke with stoptech and they said to use a clamp and a socket to press them in. I have so far put them in by hand and dont known if they are seated correctly already or they need further persuading.

No one?

… you have to be careful not to cut them against the edge of the caliper.
If you use a socket and clamp to press them in you run that risk.
I set them in by hand and the run a wooden dowel around the edge to make sure its properly seated.
The trick is to have the piston completely seated so it leaves enough room for the seal to fit.

Thanks. That is why I held off from that socket/clamp method. I will go your route as I am sure you have done it countless times. Thank you - Jason
