1) So, I'm almost done with putting the front brake calipers back on which I rebuilt. I was wondering where to apply the caliper grease? At what points on the caliper?
2) I only have the front wheels off and on jackstands, I'm gonna be doing the rear brakes and calipers also but I was wondering am I suppose to bleed the front brakes or do I wait until I'm done with replacing the rear? First time I've done this.

Re: Some Brake Questions?
Apply the grease to the sliding wedge. You can put some on the back face of the pads were the caliper and piston contact to reduce squeeling.
Start with the caliper furthest from the master cylinder. passenger side rear, then drivers side rear, then passenger side front, then drivers side front.

also apply grease to the ends of the pad backing plate; basically anyplace that two pieces of metal touch each other and have to move to apply the brake
