Hey,was working on my front brakes yesterday,tried cleaning the rubber things and cleaning the pins,then when I put it back together I used some grease that was laying around,BAD MOVE,the dang rubber swelled almost instantly,when I checked to make sure everything was moving smoothly...well it wasn't.
What kinda grease should I use? or should I leave em' dry?

 

I use lithium grease or silicone paste and have never had an issue. Just clean everything good and coat them lightly.

 

I assume its the silicone stuff that they sell at the parts store.

 

There is a high temp caliper pin grease. It is a high temp silicone and works great!

Thanks guys,went with the Silicone stuff,I could tell I'd used that on one side before...
why I didn't use it on both sides I dunno
