How do you set new caliper pin boots? I don't want to damage them.

How do you install new front brake caliper pin boots? I tried a socket and rubber mallet but the metal seat won't budge.

Rubber mallets are for when you're striking the object directly. Since you're using the socket to take and spread the force, use a regular hammer. Also, make sure the place it's going into is clean.
