Caliper Maintenance??

"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.

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:

Yes, like all other metal-to-metal points of contact, you should apply a brake grease:
