The guy who posted the Anti-Seize should be pilloried. That stuff turns into dry clay and shouldn't be used on brake pins. Anti-Seize is for bolts only.

Don't use that - it will cause your calipers to lock up.

Use Sil-Glyde, the Motorcraft/3M silicone greases or Dow 111. You can also use Toyota's red rubber grease as well.
