Rear brake caliper dust boot install
I got a FTE rebuild kit for my 86 Carrera for the rear calipers. The dust boot has the barbed metal ring on the inside of the rubber boot to attach to the caliper metal . They do not pop down over the ring. I tried prying clamping etc. Is there a trick to get these on? Is there an alternate source with a different attachment like the fronts that the metal ring snaps on over the rubber? In the meantime they are partially on and the calipers are installed but they are not doing there job of protecting the piston and bore of the caliper from getting moisture in and forcing another rebuild when they start to rust.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
