Default caliper slide pins removal help

what is the proper way to do it. do i take out the rubber seal first or leave it.. I know to lube it with hightemp grease and lub and clean the rubber seal but does the rubber seal come off first and easy to put back on after?

Yes, you can pull the boot off first. If you're having trouble, take a small flathead and slide it between the caliper bracket and pin. Carefully pry the boot out of the little channel that it sits in. Don't clean the boot with anything too harsh.

THE ONLY HIGH TEMP GREASE I FOUND ARE THE ONES FOR WHEEL BEARINGS.. ARE THOSE OKAY TO USE ON THE CALIPER PINS?
