Safari brake caliper

Have just replaced front diff,bent the old one :oops: got everything back together except brakes. Decided to replace brake caliper seals but I can't get the piston dust boot to stay in the groove in the housing?!! I've tried lots of times but it won't stay put, as soon as I push the piston up the boot follows. Any tricks to this?

Thanks for that coxsy,had another crack at it this morning & have nutted it out, push seal to bottom of piston, seat the seal into the housing & push piston through til seal sits in piston groove :D
How'd those 10" rims work out for you?
