Re: 97 Front Caliper Dust Boot replacement.

Hey Guys,

I just finished replacing the dust boot for the caliper, we did pop the piston out of the caliper and replaced the inner seal. But when it came to the dust boot the piston didn't have to be removed, if the piston is out of the caliper far enough it can be changed with out popping the piston. As long as tthe pistion is out beyond the channel that circles the piston you can seat the boot and then ancor the outside of the boot with the lock ring clip to the caliper. It was a good thing to remove and replace the inner seal so I would do it again. but if it were a situation where the caliper was in good operating condition I would replace the bad boot only.

I appreciate the input that you guys gave, like I said it was a good thing to replace the seal I now know that the caliper is in good operating condition.

Dan
