You guys are right. I may have used the wrong grease! It said "brake" on the label so i assumed i was good to go but this is likely why my last set of slide pin seals were swollen. My grease doesn't say silicone anywhere on the product, none that I could find.
But if that's the case, why did my right brake pads wear unevenly and the left pads wore fine?
Anyways, I ordered some new pin seals and I'm buying some exact "silicone grease" so I don't swell/damage them again. Let that be a lesson. It is a PITA when things don't work out right the first or second time but at least I've gotten really good at working on my front brakes. The hardest part really is jacking up the car and removing the lug nuts like Sipperofgas said. Haha
It's starting to get chilly these days, I don't want to be messing around with my brakes come winter.
