Brake caliper piston kits advice please.

Hi peeps any advice on the fitting of these especially the dust seal and the steel ring that goes round them found they were very difficult to locate and ended up bending one of them.
Is it because I used brit part ones?

Cheers

Rod

no they are generally a pig , make sure everything is spotless and theres no lip of rust where they go in and lube everything up, generally buy an extra kit as well

Only use 'Red Brake Grease' on the rubber, (not cheap, but not much required)
not petroleum based grease/lube.
