Caliper Slide Pins

[SHOvit]

First time post, kind of a stupid question but what kind of grease are you supposed to use on the slide pins?? Also, I used a c clamp with a "floating" end and VERY slowly watched my rear calipers rotate back in, they seem to be working fine but is there a chance I f-ed 'em up??? Great site, I've picked up a ton of useful info. Thanks!!!

Mine were frozen when i got the car.I pulled them out,cleaned with Scotch Brite,and greased them with wheel bearing grease.

Use dielectric grease for the pins as per Fords recommendation.

I also used red bearing grease and a grey 3m scoth pad and it has worked fine.

Several companys manufacture special high temp "brake ****" just for this purpose.
