As the title. I am in the process of rebuilding the calipers after completely striping them down and having them refurbished and painted. On the rebuild I will use silicone grease on the pin boots, but what grease do you use on the actual pins?

Hi, I used cv grease as high melting point, not had any issues.

Thanks, I will use that

Has anyone else used cv grease on brake slider pins out of interest ? Just changed discs and pads and would rather redo pins if highly recommended not use cv grease. Thanks

I've always used copper grease without any issue. I thought that's what everybody used?

Yup I use copper grease

Marine water proof grease , like Fuchs Renolit 2


Copper slip is not for this application , and it will not resist water , it's to lube threads etc during assembly

Should I remove cv grease or should it be ok.

It will be ok , there no great load , it's intermittent a bit of transmitted heat but the Cv grease is fine for that, it will be fine.

In my humble opinion not the first choice , certainly better than copperslip, it lubricates and is slippery , if u have dodgy boots and let's face it they are not exactly super tough in time it will get washed out.
