Annoying clip!

Anyone got a top tip for making these stay on? I put them on, hold them there, let go and they flippin slip right off again!

Hi
Yes they can be little buggers lol.
You need to make sure the dust boot , inside and out , and the lip on the caliper casting they sit on , is completely free of grease , when we build them up , we use rubber grease to fit the pistons , locate them most of the way , clean off any excess grease , fit the dust boot to the piston , push the piston in the final amount , then push the dust boot onto the caliper , and fit the clip , doing it this way , it will stay on
Hope this helps
Cheers Ian

Thanks godspeed, that's what I ended up doing, I sanded the inside of the clips a little too to give them some grip, I've ended up pinching the seals a bit is it going to cause problems?
