I see there is caliper grease and caliper lube. What's the difference and the application? just the caliper pins? Lube or grease for the pistons themselves? I know that some just use brake fluid for lube on assembly - just trying to figure out what the different applications are.
To be honest I rebuilt a set of front calipers and reassembled and slathered up the pistons with caliper lube (or maybe grease, I dunno a permatex ketchup pack of stuff) - and wonder if I need to take it back apart and re-do what I did.... |

No need to take them apart. You should be fine. It's helpful stuff when you need to get the pistons past the new cylinder seals. It's a synthetic so it won't hurt the seal. It's also a fluid (in a sense) so it won't compress and will be innocuous and invisible in the system.
