Caliper rebuild lubricant

AJ/FormS said
I have been using "Silicon O-ring lube". The little tubes that come in the Spicer tranny overhaul kits, left over from the days I was working on RoadRangers.I put a "little" extra in the grooves.Havent seen any corrosion in there, in years.Available at your local jobber.
But yeah, brake fluid works. I wouldnt use anything petroleum based.I have seen them swell up pretty good/bad when the wrong stuff is used.

Transmissions use the same type of rubber in their seals as brake systems, and we vasoline the heck out of those.
I would'nt slather it all over the place, but just use a light film due to the fluid possibly getting globs in it.

Either that or we could use brake fluid. #-o:D


Edit:
I mean the clutch pack lip seals are the same material, not the normal outside seals.
