    My 82 seca has a floating brake caliper. Problem is my brakes have started sticking a little. I'm cleaning the piston bore again but while I have it off i figured i'd clean the little rod that the caliper floats on. Sorry, not sure what it's called and my parts diagram does not even show the damn thing. Is there a lube anyone uses after they clean out the bores or does everyon just smear some brake fluid in there?

    Ok so I took it apart and polished the rod. I lubed up the moving parts. now I've got one caliper with a frozen piston and one is giving me a hell of time trying to put the dust ring back in. I've got the ring in the freezer right now trying to shrink it up a bit. Anyone have any other ideas?
