How to replace rear piston dust cover and seal?
I installed new rear brake pads today and I noticed that a dust cover round a piston has a small hole in it, both side. Is it possible to replace it without taking the caliper apart and rebuilding it? In the manual it's called "piston dust cover and seal".
I am going to stop by my local dealer to see if I they sell it. I see Ate #11.8102.4410.2 stamp on it, but online search does not show anything.
Has anyone replaced it without taking the caliper apart?
Thanks

Took it to the dealer to get done. It turned out the boot can be replaced without taking the caliper apart and opening the system. The boot does to act a seal between the piston and caliper. Slide the old boot off and put the new one back on. The only complication is that a special tool is needed to "tap" the boot back in place over the caliper. I've seen some threads here though describing how to make it out pf PCV pipes, big washer so to speak.
