Dust boot seal installs for brake calipers can be a real pain, but you slide the dust cover down to the bottom of the piston with the bottom flange hanging off just enough to start it in the groove cut in the caliper. Once in place you just slide the piston down into the caliper and the dust cover slides right into place. After you have done it once the second one will take about 1 minute to do.
