[QUOTE="mu22stang, post: 8902862, member: 81298"] I changed back to my street pads on Saturday and noticed a couple of things. First, I melted one of the dust boots on the front passenger side piston (PBR). The caliper overhaul kit is $21.11 from Tousley Ford, but I'm curious if there is a way to just get a replacement boot. Also, when removing the caliper to change the boot, what is the best way to remove and plug the brake line to avoid brake fluid spillage? If I don't have compressed air, can I still work the pistons out by hand? On the rears, I noticed the brake pad nipple was not seated in the piston groove, but resting (and melting) into the boot. The grooves were aligned properly. Any ideas as to why this happened? [/QUOTE]
