Default Re: SRT6 brakes, slide pins lubrication

I got up this morning full of p!ss and vinegar and decided that the pins had to be lubricated today. With the front caliper off and not a bit of grease to be seen anywhere on the sleeves, pad seats or backs I was pleasantly surprised to see the St. Steel brake lines and brake fluid arrive from NeedsWings. I ordered these on Sunday and customs must have been on the job this week. USPS Priority Post though, I guess that helps.
I guess the Akebonos are staying at least for now. With no grease on the whole assembly, I'm hoping this was the cause of the low pedal and squeal at times. The pads were so tight the front disk was hard to turn, no obvious damage to the rotors though.
