Lubing calipers

[Archive]

I had read a post about sticking brake calipers and someone mentioned that they lube their calipers, how and were is this done as I think I have a caliper hangging up because the truck has a constant pull to the left and when I apply the brakes it really pulls to the left and when I pull it apart I want to hopefully cure it.

Flatlander, I've used anti-seize lube on my Dads brakes. (1990 dodge diesel) Just put it on the surfaces that mate between the caliper and it's mount. I also put a little on any bolts, for easy disassembly at a later date. HTH

I have the same pull with mine. It is cured for a couple of months when I lube the slides with anti-sieze. I do the mudbogs with my truck and a fter every race I need to do the lube thing after the pressure washer.
