They need to be lubed well. Make sure the boots aren't cracked.

One packet is for the caliper pins, the other is for the piston seal. Don't try to install the pistons dry, you'll tear up the seals. I've rebuilt 2 sets of Prelude calipers and a set of Legend GS calipers without any issues.
I had to replace the boots/seals in rear prelude calipers a few months ago and let me tell you... that was probably the most pain in th *** thing ive done in a long time... I ended up buying Autozone rebuilt calipers.. if anyone else has done them they know what i'm talking about..

Ok the pink one is for the dust cover, the orange is for the pins and the clear is for i guess the square cut seal ? And then use brake fluid on the piston itself i guess ??
