New Brake Caliper Pins
I’m getting ready to do some front brake maintenance on front disk brakes, I bought 2 sets of Meritor pins and 0-rings kits #15013, reading the instructions about 0-rings, It says Meritor recommends not to use the 0-rings to increase performance in even wear, It sounds like the 0-rings make caliper hang up? I do have the spring kit on calipers. And it came with a tube of lube to lube pins, or use synthetic anti seize, any know about synthetic anti seize ?

Just finished doing front brake maintenance, Pulled off front tires, pulled old pins cleaned up all the bushings, bushings were fine, Checked pads for wear and deterioration, all good pads wearing even inter and outer. Installed the 0-rings on the new caliper pins used glide slide on 0-rings and Meritor said to use WD40 to lube pins but I used Lube-1 with Teflon like Tri-flo Pushed pins in lining up retainer, also used anti seize on retainer then torqued to 60 ft lbs. Also I reinstalled the coil springs on outboard side of caliper on pins to help brake drag, cleaned up everything lubed front end checked brake adjustment put tires back on. Al so I put front Centramatic on. Next I will do the same on tag brakes I just ordered Meritor Pin kit 15013 w/0-rings and 2 more Centramatics #700-720 . before and after pictures.

Jeff Rowe if you read this what do you think about what Meritor said about WD-40 or I used Lube-1 like Tri-Flo on pins instead of Anti-Seize on caliper Pins, what does your shop use?

I use a Wurth product…holds better on to the rubber than wd40…

No rubber on the Meritor ADB 1560 brakes as per picture, exposed steel pins grease or ainti seize dirt will adhere to it??
