Brake grease for caliper pin inside rubber boot?
Hey all. I did a partial rebuild on my AD22VF calipers today. I picked up a pin boot kit at AutoZone, special order since they aren't stocked, Duralast brand. The piston boots were in good shape, but the slide pins had so much dried out lube I'd never have gotten it cleared out of those rubber boots, so it was best to replace them.
I have been using Sil-glyde for the pins on other brakes, but this doesn't seem to work well within the rubber boots, not slick enough, and the pins just don't seem to slide that well, too much friction. For the pin that isn't sliding in a rubber boot, slides great.
I know with the official Nissan kit there is a special lube for the rubber parts, does anyone know something off the shelf that would work well in this area?
