HELP!!! caliper piston seal...

[danBoy]

For some stupid ****ing annoying reason I can't get the caliper piston seal to seal properly, it keeps popping off, any ideas????????? I need it to seal otherwise I can't fit my 314mm set up

This side is on fine...



This side has popped off

Perhaps try cleaning it with some meths or the likes. just in case it is slipping off because it is damp with brake fluid.
Is there a steel band or something that holds the seal in place. Look to see if it has come off or broken?.

I've cleaned everything up etc, can't see anything holding the seal in place on my other caliper, just this one is being a pain lol and its hit a nerve

Well I've tried lubricant and it still keeps popping off, right now I feel ******* useless cos I cant even get a simple seal fitted right

Swap the seals over and see if there is any difference

I can't even do that as the seal on the fully working caliper is rock solid and won't even come off and I don't want to risk having both calipers fubbered the seal I've got is for the 2.8 V6 Turbo but you can get half of it on nice the other side pops off, its proper ****ing me off like I'm not meant to have the bigger brakes on my heap of ****e car

Bring them around tomorrow and maybe another pair of hands and eyes might help. Could be the seal is faulty

Does anyone know if the seal is meant to be stuck down??? as the seal on my other caliper is rock solid.
