Do Caliper Pins Need to be Lubricated When Installing Disc Brakes on a Trailer
Updated 02/13/2017 | Published 02/11/2017 >
Question:
I am installing a pair Kodiak 250 Brake caliper. Should I lube the caliper pins as you would on cars? I didnt see that anywhere in the manuals but I know its always a must on cars

The caliper pins do not need lubrication on a trailer. I've attached a video and an article on installing disc brakes for you to take a look at. Although it wouldn't hurt anything if they are lubricated either.
