The FSM says use lithium soap base glycol grease for the piston parts and disc brake grease on the inner anti-squeal shim. I have Sil-Glyde BK-4 brake lubricant, Sta-Lube brake caliper synthetic grease, Super Lube with PTFE (rated at 450°) and CarQuest Disc Brake Quiet #2065. Can I use any of the products I already have, or do you recommend other specific products. I have uneven wear on my pads. Primarily, the top piston on the driver's side is causing extreme wear on the top of that pad.

Any of that grease will suffice, but personally I don't like that disc brake quit stuff.
Uneven wear, did you rebuild the calipers?

I may consider rebuilding the calipers, but I 1st want to see how smoothly they travel, so I know if it is the pin or piston that is hanging up.

Why not re-build the calipers and replace the hardware while it's apart.
Do you really want to put yourself in the position of having possibly to repair it twice?
I understand it's your time and labor, but I would kill two birds with one stone.

If I had someone here to pump the brakes for me while I bled the system, I'd be more eager to rebuild the calipers. If I need to do it twice, it's not that big of a project... nothing compared to replacing my lower control arm last weekend.

I rebuilt my calipers and replaced my pads. I used brake fluid as the lubricant for all internal caliper components. I used CarQuest Disc Brake Quiet #2065 between the anti-squeal plate and the pistons. I used Sil-Glyde BK-4 brake lubricant on the pins, between the pads and anti-squeal plates and outside of the piston boots for RH brake, and I used Super Lube with PTFE (rated at 450°) on the pins, between the pads and anti-squeal plates and outside of the piston boots for LH brake. I'll keep my eye on the brakes over time to see there is a performance difference between Sil-Glyde and Super Lube.
