Q: Question
Hey , I saw video on how to service the brake caliper by lubricating the sliding pins. The person used silicone paste to the sliding pins but I also saw they have brake caliper grease. Are they both the same? I mean can I use brake caliper grease on the sliding pin and will it be the same as silicone paste? Thanks
