bootz76 - How much did that cost?
Just had a shot at replacing the seals myself, cleaned the seal grooves abit more then attempted to fit them. Was using silicon grease as lube but the main seal seems to stick out a touch too much, cant see any crud causing the problem. When I was trying to put the dust deal in it just didnt want to play ball. Out the packet, the inner section of the o ring (dust seal) has a groove around the middle section (is this normal?) couldn't see it fitting properly. I put the piston back in the caliper with just the fluid seal in, making sure it was going in square. It went in ok and was straight, but the seal seemed to be gripping it making it hard to get the piston back out. I know there needs to be some friction, otherwise the piston would fall out.
