put the boot in the cylinder but not all the way in, just so that the little notches line up, put the piston into the boot, then push the piston in so that the notches line up on the piston and cylinder. heres a picture from the FSM ...

I used to just hammer the piston back in when I have the bleeder valve open or the brake line off when I had stock brakes. I can't do that anymore since I upgraded to Z brakes.

please, for ur own sake if anyone decides to "hammer" the piston back in, use a rubber mallet.
