replacing wheel caliper seals
how does fit the pistons with new seals into the wheel cylinder caliper bore, without tearing the seals?

There is a tool that is a plastic tapered cylinder that you feed the piston down and then in to the caliper. I never liked it. I have a thin soft piece of plastic that I shoehorn the seal in with. Put the piston in the bore with half the seal in ,then using the plastic gently fold the seal in and push the piston in.
I'll get you a pic of my homemade installer.
