You can do this, Steve; it is not difficult. I am not a mechanic and I do the brakes on our cages.

Steve,
when you apply the goo to the back of the pad, it is a THIN smear and you try to avoid the area in the middle where the piston is in contact with the pad. You then give it a little time to go of before reassembly so there shouldnt really be any goo on the caliper.
This product is a resonance damper rather than a cushion between parts.
I hope this is as clear as mud.

I have sprayed squeaky brakes with a product called PB Blaster. It is a penetrating oil and smells like deisel fuel. It'll stop squeaks, but the brakes will be a little slick for a few miles.

Spray an entire can of silicon on the rotor, caliper and pads. You won't stop but the squeak will be gone.

....and don't forget to Armor-All that saddle, pegs, and grips prior to the first ride. :y115:
