How do I fix my brake caliper piston seal?
I was cleaning these up to sell them when I noticed this:

The seals were installed by a reputable vendor so I am clueless about how to fix. It is not torn - just working its way out. How do I fix?

I believe that's the dust boot, they are a pita to put in, they melt off on one track day. Most racers leave them off.

I am almost embarrassed to say, but those calipers have 15 track days at VIR and RD ATL
. So it is OK to sell them like that?

You have that much time on those and the boots are still even there? Wow...generally those things go up like burnt ash in the first session.

If the boots still look like that, then these are barely used, should bring top dollar!

They are DRM ss piston and I use the titanium heat shields - obviously that is why the seals look so good
