E350 Front Brake Caliper Question-lubricate?
Hi guys, I just completed a front rotor and pad change on my AMG Sport Packaged 4-Matic 2009 E350 and was curious about the front caliper slider pins...I cleaned them up nicely before reinstallation however, I noticed that my car shows no prior signs of lubricant or anti-seize on the 9mm Hex Bolt pins that hold the caliper to the retaining bracket--I also see no mention of anti-seize or lubrication in my Shop Key subscription....maybe I am used to North American Metal...am I missing anything? My Zimmerman rotors also very clearly mentioned "applying NO paste" to the hub upon re-assembly in their included instructions aside for the outer edge hub surface after the rotor has been mounted. Any input?

Fixed caliper floating dual pistons I never lube the slide pins at the top of the pad. They should remain relatively centered with little movement due to the one piston on each side design.
