It's been a while since I've done this.  Could someone please advise me on how to get the  seal on the piston?

Start it on the end as you have it shown in the picture. I was able to get on that end fairly easy, up to that collar just behind where it's supposed to go. At that point I used a jewelers screwdriver, slipped under it between the piston and the seal/cup. Stretch it enough to start it over that collar, hold with your thumb while slipping the screwdriver around the piston, prying it up and over the collar. It took a few tries but it finally went on. Make sure you don't curl the inner lip under. Just takes patience and persistence.

Thanks for the tip, John.  YouTube vids of other Honda rebuilds showed the seal going over the big end. I didn't have a small screwdriver, so I used a dulled kabob skewer.   Smiley  Got it knocked, now.

Brake fluid makes a great lube when replacing rubber brake parts.
Ride safe.
