Thanks everyone!

Thanks, this is my first time changing my caliper/rotor, went to do a brake bleed and noticed my front driver was leaking, turn out my speed bleed screw was not tight, i end up taking out the caliper to check for leak and noticed one was slightly raised but it did go back in with the pad okay.

if one of the dual piston is slightly less compressed than the other one maybe by like 5mm will both piston make even contact once i pump my brakes during normal use?

i thought brake cleaner makes seals like rubber swell up and fall apart

Than Thank you! I have not finished my brake job yet and car has not been used either. Copper anti seize has been sitting between my piston boot and brake pad for almost 24 hours now. Will my rubber boot be okay? Couple hours from now once i ge lt home im thinking about wiping the pads and...

Im learning to change brake pads and caliper from watching chrisfix videos and he uses copper anti seize on back of the brake pad. Is this safe for the piston boots rubber? Also he uses silicone ceramic paste for the guide pins. Is this also safe?
