Default Sticking Calipers

I have a 2006 Honda pilot. Replaced rotors pads and 2 calipers. Right rear and front left. They are sticking. Had the brake lines flushed because it looks like someone put some type of thick grease in the line. After reading some post it looks as if someone put some type of anti suede crap in it. Any suggestions?

You found anti sieze INSIDE your hydraulic line?

I'm not sure. Based on a description from another post it sounds like it. It looks like a thick grease that was on the old caliper.

I'm extremely confused by your question. You're talking about "inside the lines", and then "on the caliper".

Did you push the pistons fully back in before installing the calipers? You may not have. Check that first.

Also...clean off the pins and use silicone brake grease for the sliding hardware and pad tips.

There should not be grease of any sort INSIDE your hydraulic brake LINES.

The grease looking stuff was actually on the calipers. The calipers are new and still sticking.
