Ohhhh those pins! I guess i should have read the rest more carefully.

Yeah my friend told me to clean and grease everytime because he did brakes on his 02 7.3 and had it start pulling hard like a month later. He didnt grease the pins and one side got seized up.

I did my brakes before RRE and just used some normal grease for the pins. He said that you are supposed to use some 'caliper pin grease' or something cuz they can handle high heat etc.
I havent had any issues.

I've talked about doing hydroboost but never have. On my first 'mule' I did the rear brake conversion and thought it was OK but not worth the money. The two dually's I have and had are really expensive so never did. I think the dually stops better then the SRW's anyway.
