What grease Caliper bolts / slides

[96-2D-Hoe]

I need to service my front calipers as one is dragging a bit. I have some anti-seize that I think I'm supposed to use on the slides, but what grease should I use for the bolts?

i use the synthetic permatex grease from advance auto. i use it for my standard brake jobs to some semi performance brakes and bmw brakes. works good and holds up well.

I use CRC Brake and Caliper grease.

Brake and Caliper grease.

Too obvious. Ahh well, I was hoping it was something I had already.

Thanks for the replies. I did look in the Haynes manual but it had no info.

Whatever grease you use should be a high temp grease so it does not just melt and go away. Brake specific grease has that capability.

In addition to greasing the caliper slide pins, I put some on the ears of the pads so help them slide as well as on the back faces of the pads to reduce any chatter.

Good call. Also make sure to completely clean the lube surfaces and also the same for the parts of the caliper that touch the knuckle and that same knuckle surface. Cleanliness is the absolute best way to have a success with brake work.
