Lets' review.There are four products needed to restore a caliper.1. Brake cleaner 2. Brake parts assembly lube for the caliper seal only.3. Dow corning High vacuum grease. 4. Brake fluidEach has it own specific application and needs for the task to be performed.#1 is used to get everything clean. (given the confusion, it had to be said)#2 is used ONLY on the seal and must be compatible with #4, as some of it will invade the brake fluid chamber.#3 is NOT used on the seal, as that would put silicone inside the brake fluid chamber. This is a bad thing as the compounds are incompatible. It is used behind the brake pads and a thin coat is used on the parts of the calipers and piston that are exposed to the elements and subject to water ingression. The Dow Grease will not mix with ANYTHING. It is a simple barrier with the very important property that it will NOT melt when the parts get hot and then run/creep into the brake pad friction material and provide lubrication between pad and disk rotor.#4 is what makes the hydraulic part of the brake function. (I hope that part is clear.)+1 That's the thread I was trying to find
