Default Need brake rebuild help, do you need to put any lubricant or brake fluid

around the piston seals before you put them back in, or do you just slide them in?

this is for my shifter kart calipers, but i assume it is the same for cars. it seems like there would be no lubrication if you just put thim into the cyliders without prep

thanks!

I always coated the seals with fresh brake fluid (the dip finger in fluid and wipe on seal tecnique)
