Caliper slide pin grease

[JeffKeryk]

I use Sil-Glide and also inspect brake components every few years. That includes a quick clean and lube.

That's the bottle I just purchased this week, it was a bit large for what I need at home but they only had one size, perfect for caliper pins and boots.

That kleen flo stuff seems to work quite well. I usually do a gravity bleed and slide pins every 2 to 3 years. The grease, while dark hasn't degraded into putty, it still has the same consistency as it went in.

I use Dynatex silicone grease. Have never had a problem with it

Never an issue with sil-glyde, 3M silicone paste.

Currently using Raybestos silicone paste

I would buy that lube just for the nifty little oil drop guy on the label. It is very 1950's retro! No one has any neat creative labels/logos like this anymore for the most part.

Just use any brand of silicone paste. I do an annual clean and lube, so it doesn't matter the brand.

With your climate and salted roads, that is a sound practice.

Some Japanese brands use lithium soap based stuff and I don't think it holds up to moisture and sat as well. But my opinion comes from (mis)using that stuff on door seals.

I use silicone grease. Can't go wrong. I have a lifetime supply for myself. They were surplus discards when we minimized the inventory of our grease laboratory.

I used Lucas Red n' Tacky on some sliders recently. Hopefully we all don't die.

That may attack and swell rubber.

Used to use 3M silicone before it was discontinued. Now I use SuperLube’s version of silicone with Teflon. Appreciate the compatibility chart on their website.

Fortunately my slides aren't made of rubber. Funny because my greaseable suspension joint boots are rubber. Lots of rubber items under the truck had to survive the winter of fluid film...

Fluid film is just sheep hair grease

In my experience SuperLube grease is not comparable with silicone and will perform poorly as such. I've used it with rubber & ignition components for a few years but when re-servicing it was not holding up at all. Is there a "special" SuperLube silicone grease?

I used to be able to get Dow Corning 111 for a decent price. I should search that up again.
