There is a chap who has a vid on you tube where he use's compressed air via a foot pump but the same would be achievable with a compressor and air gun down the pipe inlet

I used a footpump and a tyre valve stem screwed into where the banjo bolt normally screws in. Seat the seal into the caliper body first, push the piston into it, pump the footpump and then work it around until the seal works along the outside of the piston

I agree with the others though Having done it once, I wouldn't bother again. And I DIY everything!
new dust seals arrived today (after ripping my previous two) - after taking inspiration from the above I used a plastic document wallet and cut into a strip, wrapped into a sleeve and.... got it done in about 30secs.
Soooo easy doing it this way.

Therefore thanks for the advice!!!

A bit like a piston ring compression clamp?

Calipers are rebuilt and back on the car. But now the abs light is on constantly. Anyone got any ideas?

Tried driving it? It usually takes a few hundred meters for it to turn off.

took it for a 10min drive and light still on. Tested to see if was working and kept locking the front driver side wheel. So there’s def a problem. My OBD2 doesn’t find anything, needs an mot and service soon - so guess I’m going to have too let Honda find the fault for me.

You could check the ohm readings from the sensors and compare to see if anyone seems bad.
If you spin the wheel in the air you should also get a small voltage reading.
Check this link for pin outs (hopefully the same on RHD cars) https://www.s2ki.com/forums/s2000-un.../#post24563726
