I have a 92 S10 with a ton of miles on it.

The right side front brake caliper is a rebuilt. about 175,000 miles ago.
The rubber o-ring where the bushing goes has disintegrated. I just bought a
new set. Am I supposed to grease these o-rings before putting them in the
caliper and the new bushing or put them in dry as is?

Coat them with brake fluid. Never use grease!
