Default Brake Caliper Rebuild Question - Help Needed!

I am in the process of rebuilding my calipers on my ITR. I havethe o-ring in place and the dust boot seated within the caliper but I have having some difficulty getting the piston into the caliper past the dust boot. The top opening for the dust boot is smaller than the diameter of the piston and I jsut don't see how to get the piston through there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

i can help you out, but before we get started your going to need some caliper rebuild lube (3$). Do not use high temp grease inside the boot as lube. A wire coat hanger will help as well. Im assuming you mean the fronts.

Thanks, I was able to get it finally. I used the lube that came with the rebuild kit.
