I was able to get it done by using red rubber grease. The dust seal for the large piston was the most difficult. The dust seal would not stay in the groove without the piston in place. I found that using the piston to push the lipped part of the dust seal in in ahead of the piston worked best. Then I was able to work the parts of the lip into the groove.

For the 2 smaller pistons, I was able to get the dust seal into the groove first and then use a hook to carefully pull the upper part of the dust seal up around the piston so that the piston could be pushed into place. Using the red brake assembly grease worked better than brake fluid.

The red brake assembly grease is hard to find. If you go to an auto parts store, they will try to sell you the caliper grease that you use to lubricate the pads and retaining pins. I was able to find the correct "red rubber" grease on amazon. I now have enough to do a few lifetimes worth of brakes.
