the caliper cylinder wall has to be very clean no scoring //like new
..and the piston (you have new ) you use rubber grease to rebuild the calipers kits (red stuff ) metho /brake caliper cleaner to clean the caliper parts wet and dry paper helps as well make sure the bleeder is clean also you may consider painting the calipers with heat resistant caliper paint

You'll be right smearing some brake fluid inside to slide the piston into the caliper. The piston will be constantly exposed to fluid on the inside once it's been bled. It's only if its left without fluid, or fluid that's old and probably contaminated with water that it might start to seize.
