What grease should I be using for the sliders on bedix calipers? I used copper which I now am led to believe is wrong.

 

lithium? silicon?

Moly or LM grease should be fine I'd imagine - shouldn't use copper grease though.

Copper grease has particles of metal in it, when used in applications like these it accelerates the wear, it is not designed as a lubricant.

It's an anti-sieze compound -used between two non-moving metal parts to stop them siezing together.

 

Also works well on the back of brake pads to stop squealing.
