>Does anyone have an easy method for installing the dust seals that span
the
piston to caliper body gap? I'm rebuilding my calipers with nice new
stainless pistons, and have sliced up my fingers (those new pistons have
nice sharp edges...) trying to get the little buggers seated so that I can
get the retaining clip on. Anybody know the secret?

There are those who say that the judicious use of an air gun will inflate
these seals and they will snap into place. I can't say I've successfully
done it that way, however. I usually use a pair of small screwdrivers. Be
carefull not to poke a hole with them.
