    I found that using a C-clamp and a large washer worked great to seat the
    seal and ring. They just pop in place. A seal kit might not do the trick.
    When I have had problems with my RR brake pistons not wanting to push back
    into the caliper, it was due to the chrome flaking off of the piston. After
    the chrome is gone the piston won't want to seal properly and they will
    rust. I just replace them. Next time I'm going to try the SS pistons.
