The boot seems to have air pockets in it. When I screw in the piston all the way the boot on one side kinda bubbles at one end. Any suggestions

Thanks Madness

any pics? did you line them up right when you slide the calipers down? if not you can use a screwdriver and line the boot up to the 17 bolt holes.

 

Sorry possibly my post was not clear. I'm talking about the dust boot on the caliper piston. When I screw/depress piston all the way in I get kinda a little air pocket on one side.

 

You can try to back the piston out a little and screw in again to try to even it out some. I sometimes use a little silicone lubricant on the boot before I screw it back in. As long as there are no tears and the boot is not twisted, it should not cause problems.
