Hi all,
Thought I'd share this tip on making a tool for pressing in front brake
caliper piston dust seals. Buy a 2 inch cast iron pipe end cap. Scribe
a line all around 5/8 inch from the bottom of the closed end. Cut away
the open end with a hacksaw. File the remaining cup edges flat (See
cheesy ASCII art below). The 2 inch pipe cap fits perfectly over the
piston. I used two C clamps to press the seals home. No need to split
the calipers, either. Figure about 2 bucks and 30 minutes to make.
