New seals can be a bugga. Decided to change the front brake caliper seals in mine recently, no reason except that they have 45k on them now, so thought it would be in order to check 'em. Absolutely perfect but since I had the new seals to hand and the pistons out, hey-ho, might as well do it.
Isn't hindsight wonderful? Just twisted one of the seals slightly on re-fitting the piston and 10 miles down the road, I spot a drop of brake fluid under the left side caliper. So easily done despite the care I took on rebuilding.
I daresay that something similar has happened with Pitty's shock. Utter PITA but it happens.
