    Yes Ldub - I searched b4 asking.
    L0L...I'm glad you asked, I've never seen it covered in any other thread.
    Since I wasn't sure which was which, I used caliper pin grease & pad goo from my local auto parts, now I've got enough to last for the rest of my life... IF I can remember where I put it...

    Thanks for the definitive answer Greasemonkey......
