Default brake: guide pin grease?
What kind of grease/lube should I use ?

The guide pin (#16) keeps sticking, killing the inside pad

Look for a silicone-based lubricant

Also take a metal brush and clean item 21 (sliders) and apply some grease on there as well

I had a problem with uneven wear on one side I kept adding grease and finally it has cleared the issue up.

You can get high temp brake caliper grease at crappy tire, works fine, put LOTS.

The best stuff I've found is the orange stuff that comes in the Honda caliper rebuild kits. It doesn't have a part number though so I'm not sure how to get more.

The purple stuff? Seems okay at first, but it seems to get hard quickly. If it's something else, I wouldn't mind a brand so I can give it a try.
