I have an old Bendix brake piston and a big 3/4" drive socket. You
gotta make sure the seal is very square to the drum or rotor
before you tap lightly, else one corner rides up and distorts the
whole thing, then the seals leak if they even go in. I think
everyone's busted one once in their life :-)
