Brake caliper lube - I miss search!
I know this has been asked a billion times but the"google" search doesn't find it. And it's been 20 years since I did the brakes on this generation.
87 1/2 ton with the 1.25" rotors (diesel). I have new hardware and pads to put in, calipers themselves seem OK. Looking at the system, I lube between the pin and sleeve, right? And NOT with anitsieze or any oil based, right? 'Cause the PO used both  and didn't replace the rusted pins ($8 each at NAPA!) and the o-rings swelled and siezed the calipers . Didn't help they undercoated it everywhere including the suspension and brakes (took wire brush and 3 cans cleaner to fix that...).Anyone have a preferred lube? Or is the over-the-counter plastic pouch stuff (Castrol I think?) at Murray's just fine?
