Recommendations for Brake Assembly Lube

["Jim LeBlanc" <jleblanc@midsouth.rr.com>]

Sorry to ask this question without searching the archives. 

 

Recent purchase of new brake cylinder rebuild kits give me the impression
that the new rubber-like materials are superior to the old rebuild kits we
used to get in the 60's and 70's. Can anybody confirm this? 

 

Next and importantly, does it matter what assembly lubrication I use when
putting these hydraulic cylinders together? 

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
