calipers soon to be rebuilt. Included was a packet of silicon oil. Should I use it, or just brake fluid?
& do the joint seals get lubed? between caliper halves..
Thanks..

That's where I'd use some of that silicone oil, and on the piston seals too.
Check Clymer's manual for proper rebuilding procedures.
