	If the sliders are worn at all, or any of the dust covers are missing, you are probably better off going down to HalFrauds and getting their Vauxhall kit.

-Using your hands/fingers, smear Lithium Grease (White stuff) over the sliders and lube the bores, push the slider back through the first seal into the calipers and helping past the other seal. Using your thumb and forefinger the sliders should shuttle, a little stiffly at first, but then slide smoothly back and forth under a constant alternating pressure. Any excess grease will squidge out.

 Don't be tempted to use graphite greases or a variant of copper eaze: these are very abrasive greases and will do harm to your sliders and the bores in which they sit. Silicon products won't perish the seals like other greases.

 Alternatively, one could order a pair of DORMAN rear calipers (ie, part# CA10113L and CA10114R).  These DORMAN calipers have all the parts less the tools to overhaul one's current OEM Lotus rear calipers.
