Brake rebuild lubrication

#1 PostAuthor: JimBoUK » Tue Oct 13, 2020 6:45 pm

Hi All,
So I’m completely rebuilding the brakes on an old GPZ11.
New seals, pistons etc.
When putting the clean dry bits together they obviously need lubricating.
After a google, some are saying to use silicon grease, some to use brake fluid and even soaking new seals in brake fluid first.
Is there a best practice for this ?

Thanks :)
