Hi Simon,

Josef's done a good job of explaining  this procedure, but I'd add a caution.
After having done this job a number of times over the years, I found the last set I did kept wanting to pinch the edge of the outer seal before it could slide up to the groove in the piston. I'd never had that happen before, and I wonder if some of the new seals don't quite have an even, round edge. It's worth having a good look at the edge of the outer seal before doing the installation.

Stephen, BJ8
