    sounds like you need new seals again and I have no idea what you are saying.

    Sounds like you scrambled the seals mate - probably scrap now ....
    Soak seals well , lube pistons with the brake fluid/oil you are using and SLOWLY/GENTLY install .

    coat them well in the fluid / oil you are using in the brakes - not overnight , just 10 mins or so to make sure they are as slippery as a slippery thing .....
