Going to change the front brakes tomorrow, now normally when I do brakes with slider pins like the ones you need to undo when taking the brakes off, I generally clean and lubricate with ceratec. Just wondered if anyone else lubricates the sliding pin or leaves it as is?

Cheers mate, will just carry on then.
On a side note do you know what idiot designed the location of the brake fluid reservoir!

I clean the pins and use a copper based anti sieze on them. Last thing you want is a sticking caliper.
Always lube the sliding pins.
Helped a friend out the last couple of evenings, discs were completely rusted and scored, pads were completely worn, calipers not moving due to all 4 pins seized and 1 seized piston.
Needed a blow torch to loosen and remove.

Thanks for the replies, I was told to use ceratec as it doesn't dry out like copper grease.
But last car I did was a golf

Pads and discs changed. That was a far easier job than I first thought. Apart from that stupid retension bracket/spring thing the sprung out and hit my thumb!
