A little experience is often worth a LOT. Those pistons move MUCH easier if you vent a bit of the pressure.

Just a note on the silicone grease: Silicone in all forms, tends to spread out as thin as it can (sometimes called "migration"). Just need to be sure there isn't too much on there, such that it could "migrate" over to the pads or the rotor.
