The caliper rebuild kit comes with 3 small grease packets - red, orange and clear. The red and orange are labeled for the pins and the dust cover but I'm not sure what the clear grease is for. Is the clear grease for the piston seal ring?

"16. Coat the inner O-ring with either caliper grease (this is a special grease just for calipers - available at most auto parts stores) or brake fluid."

Sounds like the clear stuff is for the piston.
Where do you get your rebuild kit from? $?

yeah,. the rebuild kit i used last week was basically just seals. i cleaned everything off, and used brake fluid to lube the piston, and anit-seize to lube the sliding caliper mounts.

I got the rebuild kit from Honda - they were about $20/each and includes a new dust boot, piston seal and grease.

The helms calls for grease on the dust boot, pins and the piston seal o-ring.
Since non- of the packets are labeled for the o-ring, and the red and orange packets are already spoken for, then, by process of elimination, I guess I will just assume that the clear grease is what I should use for the o-ring.

$20 each = not bad... I may pick up a set soon.
