(6) Holding the convoluted boot on the opposite
end of the bushing, push the steel sleeve through the
bushing until the bushing boot is fully seated into
the seal groove on that end of sleeve (Fig. 52). Install
the other end bushing boot into the groove on that
end of the bushing sleeve.
(7) Verify both ends of the bushing are seated in
the sleeve groves (Fig. 53). When the sleeve is seated
properly into the bushing, the sleeve/bushing can be
held between your fingers and easily slid back and
forth without the bushing unseating from the sleeve
groove.

and install it in the groove of the caliper bore. The
seal should be started at one area of the groove and
gently worked around and into the groove (Fig.
54)using only your clean fingers to seat it.
(2) Coat the new piston boot with clean brake fluid
leaving a generous amount inside the boot.
(3) Position the dust boot over the piston after
coating it with brake fluid.
