Question about UFO calipers

[Bernie Benz]

Kent,

Good pics of the UFO caliper, but he doesn’t address the relubing of  
the caliper gulide pins. If the caliper slides freely this need not  
be done, but this apparently is one of Kevin’s problems.

Further comment.
No need for overhaul kits. Short of a torn boot, all rubber parts are  
reusable after a good cleaning.

I purposefully remove the active pad wear sensors whenever I’m in  
there, shorting the connector wires and replugging the connector.  
Thus relying on the 4 wheel passive wear sensors as being more reliable.
