I would shy away from filling a brake caliper with grease. It is not a good
idea to contaminate brake fluid with a petroleum product, and unless you
separate the halves of the caliper (which is not recommended) you will have
lots of trouble getting all the grease out. Stick to compressed air.
Just my 2 cents.
