Burnt Brake Piston Boots

HEy guyz I'm running pbr cobra calipers up front and when I went to Gingerman Roadcourse in Michigan last October I set my street brake pads on fire. Anyways I got around to taking the brakes off today (for pad replacement) and I noticed that there was a material burned off the dust boots. One piston on each side had a boot burned. Anyways, the calipers only have like 20k miles so I dont really need a rebuild...I was just wondering if it was ok to run the calipers with the boots burned. I know its not the greatest thing to do but I am planning on a rebuild next year so. I was just wondering if I would be ok till then. After all there just "dust boots". Gimme your opinions...thanks guyz.

I ordered a rebuild kit today when I went to get my rotors cut. The pistons seem fine, there are no singe marks on them or anything (just a bit dirty from not having a boot on them). Also the system is not leaking so the seal has not failed. I think the pistons are fine...This morning I called BAER and they recommended that I rebuild the caliper and the guy at the auto parts store said the same thing...So I guess I will do that tonight. I dont have a compressor so I was planning on blocking 3 of four pistons and pumping the brake pedal to pop out the unblocked one and replaing the seal and boot there and then moving on to the next one....and doing the whole system that way. I know it will be messy and I will have to bleed the system but is there any reason I should not do it this way?

Wow...this takes me back. Yea if you push the piston in all the way it gets a bit easier. I used toothpicks to help the boots along, but I have since come across dental picks. You can get them from many road racing type websites (as odd as that sounds). THey make for very handy dust boot installation for future refrence. I still destroy dust boots every track day so i gave up on it. I run without them and just rebuild the calipers once a year. I also bleed the calipers before every track day and flush the entire brake system every year. Its a lot easier with dental piks....trust me.
