Any tricks of the trade to pop these dust seals back into the rear calipers

I tend to try to make sure the grooves in the caliper body are CLEAN, then start with the boots there. Slide the pistons into the open ends (it's difficult), then slide the pistons all the way into their bores. The lip at the top of the piston will take care of itself when the piston is pushed all the way in.
