Default Must be a common problem Dust Boot Caliper Piston

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. I was thinking a making a small pin hole where the bubble is to let the air out.

Thanks Madness

Replace it, and NEVER poke a hole in your dust seal if you plan to use it again.

replace the whole boot because of air? I just need to remove the air. This has got to be a common problem with an easy fix.

I don't see the "problem." I've had many pockets of air in many dust seals. As long as you don't go poking holes or tearing the seal, it's fine.
