I'm refurbishing some calipers this weekend. (As in, disassemble, clean, reassemble with new rubber bits.)

Haven't done this before. When installing the new rubber seal on the piston, do I need to add sealant of any kind to make sure it seals properly? Some videos mention this, and some don't.

If so, any recommendations for what to use?

Red rubber grease it is then. Thanks.
