Do I need any special grease for caliper slider pins, or can I just use copperslip / LM / whatever is lying around!?

Cheers

Adrian

Copperslip. or there is proper stuff which i find to be crap so always use copperslip.

Likewise, always use cooperslip and never had a problem.

Yes, Copperslip is the only way to go.

For the pins I use red rubber grease or cv joint grease.

I find Copaslip dries up and sticks worse than before, proper silicone brake grease or rubber grease works better.

Silicone grease.
Or Waterproof Grease, I got a sample of Waterproof Grease a few years ago, I donīt know brand, type, or even if thereīs such a thing as waterproof, but it works great, I still have some lurking around in my shop that I use now and then on Dayli Drivers.

i'm sat here puzzled .... surely all grease is waterproof by its very oily nature.

Yes, I know, but this was supposedly a very special grease for offshore use.
I still keep in touch with the guy that gave it to me, Iīll try to find out Brand and Type and post with TDS.

I wouldn't use copper slip.

CV grease for me.

^^ dito, needs to be rubber safe, other wise the rubber will probably be attacked in time.. Hence silicone grease is o.k, or other rubber grease..

like he said above, copper grease tends to swell the rubbers on the slidders and makes it worse than before. I use the red brake grease.
