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-
