Seized up caliper sorted but what grease to use?

[rob18362]

Have managed to separate my rear caliper from its carrier (see earlier thread). Caliper in the vice heated up and hit with my biggest hammer!
The slide pins are cleaned up and I was going to pack them with copper grease and re-assemble but not sure about the smaller pin that slides in a rubber sleeve.
Will copper grease attack the rubber and make it swell or is copper grease the best thing here as well?
Cheers, Rob.

Its all I used on mine and have had no problems. I did mine in Dec and then again 2 weeks ago, and there were no problems or anything that appeared to be perishing.

You dont need much, just enough to give it good coating.

Either proper brake grease, Castrol and others do it or, silicon grease from a plumber's merchants.

Thanks for the advise both of you.
Will give silicone grease ago as I have some.
Cheers.
