NO!

YES! Actually it wasn't that hard to "force". The rubber is plyable
enough
that with a little force (get one side of the inner seal started and
pull,
stretch and it will pop on and then you just slide it up. You can apply
a little oil to help, but I didn't need to) it goes on nicely.
Joe, when you put on the rear seal, be sure to use the correct one (the
kit
should have come with two) and smear some oil on the inside before
installing.
Also, and this is critical, ONLY USE CASTROL GT LMA BRAKE FLUID! All
other Dot 3
fluids will destroy all rubber parts. LMA (low moisture obsorbtion)
will not.
Hope this helps. If you have other questions, let me know.
