I can't help but feel partly responsible for that. Dust seals or proper ones?

Are the grooves in which they should sit completely clean, square and undamaged?
If not then they'll never fit right anyway. If yes then are you re-using the original distended and possibly damaged seals? That'll never happen, if they are in good nick it's an easy fit, if they're not then it'll be damn difficult and they won't work right anyhoo.

Might be worth mentioning he looks after the brakes better than anyone who's not racing, pretty much...
