I'm rebuilding my ITR calipers (front and rear) that came with my 5-lug swap. I purchased a seal kit from Acura that came with three colors of grease. I've done some searching online and could only really find info for EG rear brake calipers. Is this information applicable to my calipers as well???

Front Kit (x2) = 01463-ST7-R00 (1 red, 1 orange, 1 clear)
Rear Kit (x2) = 01473-SV4-000 (1 red, 2 orange, 1 clear)

Red Grease - Parking brake cam boot, parking brake cam, sleeve piston o-ring, adjusting bolt cup, piston boot

Orange Grease - Pins only (which seems odd because my kit came with two orange packs for each rear caliper)

Clear Grease - Pin boots and piston seal

I just want to be absolutely sure before i start lubing up my calipers... helms only deals with two types of grease and i have three in my kit... I also understand that the front caliper will have less components as they do not contain internals for the parking brake system. If anyone who has completed a rebuild can confirm the grease locations that would be ideal. Thanks.

bump for this, i need to do the same thing, ordered the kit already!

 

i usually just get the synthetic brake grease from autozone, i dont know exactly how important it is to have to correct type of grease on the caliper pistons. I thought as long as it was synthetic brake grease your fine.
