I recommend you get a grease that is designed specifically caliper slide pins and brake components (brake grease). Or else your caliper might still stick with regular grease. Quick example:

Agree with sarsman45 and tigerclaws1318. Nothing horrible will happen if you push the piston back correctly with a C-clamp, brake fluid will just be pushed back into the reservior. Just pump the brakes before driving, for the reason stated before.

Not yet. I plan to change mine soon with a DIY for this forum. Unsure on a date. Never had problem with the search box so far.
