Default 2004 Rear brakes

My son just bought a 2004 L300 6 cylinder. i know the rear brakes need replaced and found out that they are pinned and seem pretty simple to install. My question is what to grease like caliper slides etc. There's very little info on youtube. Thanks for the help in advance.

There are no moving caliper parts except the pistons that push on the pads themselves. Remove the two pins, open the bleeder, slowly push the pistons back into the caliper. Close the bleeder, install the new pads, install the two pins. Press on the brake pedal a couple times. Open the bleeder and see if only fluid comes out. If so close the bleeder and you are done with that side. Repeat. Top the brake fluid in the master cylinder. Torque the wheels.
