Bruno2 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Is there any way to grease the pins on our style caliper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 "Pins"? Assuming this is on Jr, there aren't any pins are there? I would have thought an '82 had the caliper sliding on the bracket with the arched spring. If so, I take a file to the caliper and the bracket to ensure there are no high spots where they interface, and then I use the black yukky silicone brake grease on that spot. But, I will say that even then the calipers haven't moved very well. So I don't like that design and was happy that the D60 I got has the pins. Anyway, if I've misunderstood your question or what you are working on please sort me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve83 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 There are 4 trucks in your sig, and the 3 Fords have 3 distinct caliper slides - which one are you asking about? The '82 has no pins; just this: https://supermotors.net/getfile/169281/thumbnail/brakekeysbolts.jpg Yes, like all other metal-to-metal points of contact, you should apply a brake grease: https://supermotors.net/getfile/919513/thumbnail/06greases.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
