I always just rotated the boot around till it worked itself in. I know that doesn;t help much, but that's all I got.

Use compressed air. Place the boot in the grooves......hold the lubed piston just above the seal and blow compressed air(ie from a compresser) in through the brake line port. This will balloon the seal up and over the piston. Note: Keep fingers inside of the caliper edges. If the air is to much or you miss the seal youll crush/squeeze you fingers off. :&gt Hvae fun.
