You can even use it to butter the caliper piston bore where all the corrosion occurs. The silicone grease would keep the corrosive environment out of the caliper seal area without interfering with the brake fluid.
Someone here M-77 attacks rubber, but I used it on slide pins before.
I just did a brake/bearing job on my friend's beater Toyota truck - I used M-77 on the backing plates/shims/slide pins.
