Cleaned out caliper guide pins and lubricated with new silicon grease but, one of the guide pins won't seat back down because the air can't escape I assume. So one of the guide pins is sticking out further than the other. The guide pin in question has a rubber piece at the end of it. The guide pin that is seated to its normal length does not have this rubber piece. When I first removed the pins they were both even with each other. Will this be an issue if installed as is?

Re: Caliper Guide Pin Issue
Remove both pins and measure them..are they the same length regardless of one having a hard rubber tip and the other does not? If so, they should seat properly
If you are still having problems just remove the rubber piece from the slider. I removed those on both sides of my car and never had a seize slider again.
