Dust boot issues - needs replacing?

edconline

So I'm finally getting the last couple pieces back on the car, and putting the new brake pads in. Prior to resetting the pistons, I usually wipe any dirt off the piston before it gets pushed back in. (maybe thats overkill, but it gives me peace of mind). Anyway, I got to the last calliper and saw this (bottom one):





Just the one boot, just the one little side there, but it is clearly pushed out a little bit. Is this something I need to investigate further/replace or is it not a big deal?? The callipers were rebuilt just two years ago, and this is the first pad change since then. I don't know what would have happened to cause this, but it seems unreasonable that these seals would need replacing or callipers would need rebuilding on a yearly or even every other yearly basis.

I don't wanna throw in the last set of pads and do a bleed if the calliper needs to come apart anyways
