- Another video on a caliper rebuild. As said in another video, shot blasting is the best method to clean the caliper back to bare metal and also will leave the perfect surface for paint. This method is for anyone that doesn't have a blast cabinet.
Thanks for watching!

Cant get the piston dust boot on for the life of me, seems that tight that it’s not possible to get it on. Definitely got the right parts too…
They are quite durable so don’t be afraid to stretch it over the piston. Use plenty lube or WD40 to help slide it on

Do you have a link of the seal you ordered?
I use a company called Big Red for caliper parts

Didn't show the piston boot going on !
@@homerfj1100 yes it does
@@AMSVauxhall I need to have another look !
@@AMSVauxhall I didn't see you fitting it to the piston. There's a metal clip inside the boot isn't there? Makes it extremely difficult. Garages talk of a tool that they have to fit it.
@@homerfj1100 ye the metal clip is on the caliper side so it just pushes over when you push the piston in
@@AMSVauxhall Aha!......I see. At least I think I do. Seems to be an extremely snug fit !
