Changing front pads and rotors on my 98 Expedition 4x4.
When I removed the caliper from the drivers side, the lower boot was not seated in the piston bore casting.
Here is a picture of the boots I am referring to. Keep in mind I removed both boots for inspection and cleaning. Only one was not seated properly upon removal of the caliper. They both seat with finger pressure and both can be removed without tools as well. The boots are in good condition still.
Is that how tight they are supposed to be, or should I be using some sort of sealant to secure the boot to the caliper housing?
