Brake Cylinder assembly

There is an easy way to assemble the piston to the cylinder and a hard way. The easy way is, Ensure you lube all seals with brake fluid first then slide the front cover rubber onto the piston first as in photo 1. Then insert the rubber cover into the cylinder and into the internal groove Photo 2. The last step is to line the back handbrake actuator up with the back hole and then slide it in. Shouldn't need any tools it will be tight. If you need to use the handle end of a soft hammer to apply more force. Don't hit it if it wont go in check nothing is incorrectly aligned.
