High temperature Lubricant

My Haynes manual calls for the use of high temperature lubricant on the adjuster and contact points when doing the brake shoes. What do they mean by this:

Lithium grease?
Anti sieze?
or general chassis /bearing grease?

Thanks

I used brake caliper lubricant.
Don't over-do it....as too much can get onto the linings....and ruin them.
I mention that because I had the dealer do a 4 wheel brake job several years ago.....and one of the things that they did.....was over-do the goo.....and messed up the linings on all 4 wheels.

I strongly recommend replacing the hardware......which includes all the springs. The brake shoe hardware kit that I have listed in my pictures includes the self adjuster springs. 1 kit does both sides.

I used Bendix drums (one of mine was out of round) and Bendix organic lined shoes. O.E. was organic linings for rear drum brakes. I have ceramic linings for the front disk brakes.

I posted pics of my rear brake job.....
