Good afternoon,
I took the brake calipers on the 1980 KZ750LTD apart today to clean the pistons and bores. When putting them back together, what is the easiest way to get the piston back into the bore? I put a new sealing ring in the bore and a new dust seal on the caliper but couldn't get the piston back in by pushing on it. Ended up tearing the dust seal. Is it proper to put the new sealing ring inside the bore, then put the new outer dust seal on and then force the piston back in? Or, can the outer dust seal be put on after the piston is in?
Thank you,
Happy New Year to all,
Jon
