replacing caliper dust boots
HI GANG
want to know how and if I can replace the brake caliper dust seals WITHOUT pulling the pistons
this caliper is used on 99 to 04 - F450 and 550
the dust boot has a exposed metal ring that sits on the caliper body while the top of the boot seems to fit in a groove at the top of the piston
can it just be pried off and replaced with the caliper on the rig and the pistons left in??
thanks

On my 2013 I bought a caliper rebuild kit from RO and just used the dust boot, I pride the old ones out and installed the new ones with a piece of thin wall pipe that would fit over the boot and ride on the outer ring and just taped them in. That was 34K ago.
