Default Tech help please - rear caliper rebuild

I just spent the last half hour fighting this and know there has to be an easy way. I know the piston seal goes into the lower cylinder slot first. I'm assuming the dust seal has to go into the upper cylinder slot next, and then the piston slipped into the dust seal and finally pressed into the lower seal. I've either got it wrong or simply have too many thumbs. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a gallery on Flickr I created as I did mine...
