I have a 93 v6 4x4 est. cab and I am redoing my brake calipers on the front.
This truck has the four piston caliper that has two halves of the caliper
held together by bolts. I pulled the caliper off the truck, removed all
fittings, replaced pads, hardware and pins, wire wheeled the caliper and
will be honing the cylinders and pistons before i put the brake calipers
back together. Do i need to apply some sort of high temp sealant (if so,
which brand/type?)  on the two mating surfaces of the caliper halves? It
didnt appear to me that their was any on it before, but in my trial run on
the pad install, i noticed that that seam leaks fluid.  If you can figure
out what i am talking about, I would appreciate any help.
Thanx,
Matt
