Not really *that* tricky (m)
1. Place the boot on the seat on the caliper first
2. Begin to slip the piston in through the boot.
3. Remove the bleed screw and used compressed air through that inlet to expand the boot around the piston as you work it in.
4. Eventually the back of the piston will hit the seal ring and you should stop using compressed air. If you accidentally use too much compressed air and the piston decides to shoot out, it may hit your fingers if they are in the way.....don't want that
Ditto on the hydraulic fluid... nothing chews my hands up worse..
