what is the secret to getting the dust shield to go into the groove on the caliper?

Try a small amount of dish soap and rub it on the inside edge of the rubber and then hook one side over the flange on the caliper and then slowly turn and push rotating it in the same direction and it shd finally seat onto the caliper. I find swear words help if the patience thing runs out :laugh:

This may help.... see GREENISBEST's reply here. new DUST cover/seal .

The Red Rubber Grease sounds like a good idea.... not sure if it's available in the US.
