Hi All,
Im replacing the seals on my rear brake caliper, the main seal went in with a bit of a struggle but not too bad, the dust seal is a total pig to get in as it seems to be too big on its O.D. , being a tightfisted old bugger I bought what looked like reasonable aftermarket seals -Nikone 293800, certainly they seam to be the same as the old seals although its had to tell exactly. Does anyone have any tips on doing this job? Ive just spent an hour struggling with the dust seals and its still not in, Im tempted to put the old one back in at this rate.
