80' gs1000g front caliper rebuild
There just has to be a easy way to install the new piston dust cover,I've tried but can't get the cover bottom in the groove inside the piston cylinder. I can get some, but not all installed. Is there a special tool?Tags: None

The groove on the outside of the caliper body? (Maybe post a pic if I'm wrong, we're having terminology problems). The only difficulty I can think of with that would be if there was some foreign object in the groove. If you have a set of picks* you can use one to make sure the groove is clear. If you're careful not to tear the seal, you might even use a curved pick to help pull the seal on.
*I highly recommend having a set. Check Harbor Freight, etc. A bent paper clip might serve in this case.Dogma

After searching around, I found Basscliff's tutorial on caiiper rebuild,I was going about it the wrong way,(with the piston in the cylinder) so things are good. Thanks for your reply
