Once you've put the bolt in it should just push in when you pull the brake lever........................

I wish it was that easy, hole size in dust boot is half size of bolt, very snug.

it should be an exact fit pulled mine apart and had no probs putting it back together even if you need to put a bit of grease on the end just to make it slip in easier all the best hope you get it sorted

Didn't want to go the route of, ripping something to make it work.
The trick was to spread it open,carefully with needle nose pliers i bought, and go from there, still took a while as it's a Very snug fit.
Slap it in and reem brake lever didn't seem right neither.

Put on Ferodo's sinter grip, anybody else used?!?!?
