While replacing my rear brake pads I noticed that my rear brake caliper is real stiff. I'm going to grab some brake cleaner, but what is the best way to service brakes? Thanks,

Never spray your brake rotors or pads with any kind of lube!!!
Only grease pins #14 and #15, these are sealed with little rubber boots. Use a pick to push the rubber boots back into place when reinstalling the pins.
Its a little tricky the first time you do it but it keeps your brakes working smooth and responsive.

Hey Jeff, thanks for your help. I had no idea how to service my brakes, and they need some attention.
