Default Brake caliper pins, which goes where?

Hi,

My car in a 1998 Honda EX, 4 cyl. and these are my front brakes.

My caliper pins needed to be cleaned so we took them out to clean them. It wasn't until later that we noticed they were not identical. Now I'm not really sure which goes where. Notice how the one on the left has a rubber type deal on the top.


And this is what they came out of


Which one goes on top? Which one goes on bottom? I think the one without the rubber piece came from the bottom but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Don't think it makes that much of a difference. If you really want to be certain I'ld call a Honda Dealership and ask, but you should have paid attention. :-P

The one with the rubber on it goes into the top pin hole. use a good high temp grease NOT antiseize , it will turn to 'glue' from the heat

Ok thanks. That's what we thought but we weren't sure. We are going to use the high temp grease as well. Thanks again.
