Forgot to include the following in my earlier post on brake lining arcing. Now that I have everything apart what is best to use to lubricate the rollers and wedge? Should they be oiled or should I use grease? How should it be applied?

Stan, just a very light smear of disc brake high temperature wheel bearing grease. It will stay in place when the brake components heat up. Regards , Kevin.

I would also consider graphite as grease can turn to a sticky glue like substance after mixing with the brake dust ,Ted
