Quick caliper question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

These are my first disc brakes I just purchased. The seal around the piston cup doesn't look right in the top part of the photo. Is this caliper okay to use?

Maybe yes, maybe no.
Bottom line - if you are not sure, exchange it. You do NOT want to take any chances with your brakes.

Look like the piston seal isn't installed correctly. Looks like it's rolled over around the upper part of the picture to me.
