Teves are ATE. ATE stands for Alfred Teves. I'm not
sure if you mean you took out the caliper piston and
are having problems getting it back in, or if you took
the cylinder part of the caliper apart from the slide
or floating part. Honing the cylinder makes me think
you took out the piston; but you may have noticed that
the seal goes into the caliper cavity itself, which
means that the piston skirt area itself is the sealing
surface for the seal, not the piston bore in the
caliper. Anyway, hopefully now that you know that the
Teves instructions are the correct ones, you'll be
able
to figure it out. If you are having trouble actually
fitting the piston back in, be sure you're using a
proper assembly lube or clean brake fluid.
