I found a way. It's tricky. Seat the boot in its groove on the caliper. Get the boot lubed up real well with brake fluid. The piston in hand and get it centered as much as possible. Blow compressed air into the caliper where the brake line feed is. Wiggle the piston around until the boot balloons around the piston. It took a few minutes to get it but it worked.

If someone knows a better trick let me know.
