jerrytr5 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 One of those 5 minute jobs..... Started to change the front brake pads last night, then found the dust seals are all perished. Can anyone remind me - do you fit the dust seals first, then fit the pistons through them or pistons first, push them right back and squeeze the seal in? I can't remember. These are the type that locate in the piston bore. Cheers, Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers, Jerry Fit the dust seals first and lubricate around the hole with a smear of red brake rubber grease then insert pistons with their seals attached. Stuart.
