    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

So I was moving the rubber boot to get to the snap ring when I noticed that the rubber boot has a small hole in it.. I cannot seem to find a way to get the boot without the rest of the piston cup set (#1 in pic).. All the sites list that area as one complete part. Any ideas or as long as the hole is small will I be ok?

Contact Bendix and tell them your bore I.D.
They probably have a rebuild kit with that seal or perhaps a local brake specialty shop.
My counterman (that I have known for years) just pulled one out of his parts bin of left over parts and gave one to me. ;)

cool.. Any idea if the boot is more to keep dirt out or to keep fluid in?
 
keeps dirt and water out if the rubber is in not decomposing, I would put a dab of silicone on it to plug the hole before ordering a new kit, but im extremly "frugal".
