Where are the brake caliper guide pins on a Honda CRV?
In Bill’s post on the 05 CRV the top pin has the 3 flat sides, and in 09EX’s diagram, the bottom pin has the 3 flat sides. I guess I’ll check the FSM for placement, in addition to observing which way they came out, when doing brakes in the future.

2006 CR-V Front caliper slide pins. Can anyone confirm which pin goes on top (flat-sided, as Bill R’s ’05 FSM says) or (round with bushing as in 09EX4WD’s image)? I had them in as Bill R describes but I was getting some dragging recently. LF pads are unevenly worn but the RF are even and less worn.

Why are my slide pins different from one another?
One of the pins has what looks like a plastic sleeve on one end and the other does not. Do these have to go back into a certain hole? I think my calipers are hanging up due to my slide pins, and I don’t think I payed attention to which pin came from where or the grease I used isn’t right and too thick or something.
