Brake slide pin question

Ok new calipers r here. I went ahead and ordered them with new brackets since they were only $4 more and came with new slide pins and boots. My question is, then came all assembled, do u think they came with enough grease on them? Or should I take them out and regrease them? Basically, what would u do?

I'd go ahead and check em to make sure they are greased while everything is easy to get too. Just better piece of mind if you ask me!

Yep, what Tim said. It'll never be easier to do than right now.

Also... make sure you use synthetic Brake Caliper Grease. It needs to be grease that will not melt at high temps. As you can imagine, that would not be good.
