I just replaced the pistons and seals on my Juicy caliper and they feel somewhat loose. When I push/pull on the syringe at, it extends/retracts properly If I pull (very) hard on the syringe, there's some *tiny* bubbles coming from the caliper.
Is there a special technique to install the seal? I just removed the old ones and popped in the replacements. Is there more than one type of Juicy piston? Or perhaps my caliper tweaked or the replacement piston/seal is defective?

I have also been unsure about how hard to pull on the syringe. I get some bubbles when I pull slightly and I get more bubbles when I pull harder.
I know that pulling harder makes more of a vacuum which will expose the bubbles that less of a vacuum wouldn't, but the manual warns about pulling air past the seals. My rear brake was bled twice pulling very hard and the bleed is perfect. My front brake was bled the same way five times but I can't get all of the air out.
