    Help,
    How the hell do you know which way round the brake seals go in the calipers, I have stripped the brakes down on my trusty gsxr and know that the seals need to go in the correct way round but I don't know how to determine which is the right way, I have put one in and tried to feel for a lip but boy is it hard to know if you can feel the lip or not, as I have put the same seal in both way round to see if I could find any difference, but no!! Brakes in bits and off to beat head up against wall. (Still I managed to fit my blades new harris clutch lever in 5 minutes)

    Dunno about the gsxrs but for the Blade the fluid seal goes in first (the fatter one) then the dust seal

    Is one of the inner edges rounded/chamfered?

    If the seals are square cut, I don't see that orientation can make a difference.


    I did my calipers last year and could not see any difference. They seem to work.
