There's two slides per caliper. You probably took the large one out. Take a wire brush of some sort and clean the inside of the caliper where it goes really good. Same with the slide. Pack it with grease and then put it back together. If you had the lines off for some reason (really no reason to though) make sure you bleed the lines well. If the slides are ok you'll be able to move them with your hands when they're not on the bike, they should move very easily. I just went thru all this and still bought new calipers. They just didn't want to work like they're supposed to after all of that, so I bought new.
