B2 in but cannot get the clip back on - Help
 
Any suggestions. Not much room. Pushing the piston in but cannot pust the clip into the groove. Need help

If the "dogbone" is properly seated in the brake band and the piston, the piston can be pushed well past the point where the clip can be installed. You can use a few dabs of grease to keep the dogbone in place when you install piston. I've stuck the dogbone to the piston and held the piston at an angle (outside facing down) to engage in brake band pocket before the teflon outer ring meets the bore in the transmission case.

Thank you - one other question. The metal sleeve. There seems to be a black seal around it. Does that have to come off in order to put the new plastic sleeve in. Dennis

Yes. And if you have the original aluminum sleeve, you definitely want to replace it with the plastic one.
