I highly recomend coating the brake piston with silicone grease prior to reassembly.
The silicone grease reduces stiction and allows the piston to back off ever so slightly after brake activation, eliminatingsqueeling brakes. It also keeps water from contacting the thin layer of brake fluid on the brakepiston and gumming up.
I had to do this on my GL1100 Interstate because the rear brake was overheating until it locked up.
