Installing Caliper Pistons - Any Tips?
I am trying to install the front caliper pistons in my 1981 GS750E, using the instructions in my Chiltons manual and not having much luck. I have lightly coated the bores and new seals with clean brake fluid. I have installed a new seal in the groove in each caliper. But I cannot get either piston past the seal!

It has to go straight in - twist it around with some light pressure and it should slide right in1978 GS 1000 (since new)

1978 GS 1000 (parts)
1981 GS 850 (anyone want a project?)

Gotta admit I'm dumb. Was trying to put them in upside down. They go in much easier the right way!
Thanks!
