By greasing the calipers, would it stop
Them from seizing or not? :)

Is it the seizing of the caliper slides that you're referring to?

greasing the caliper slide pins halps stop the calipers seizing open.
Grease on the pad or disc could stop the car from stopping when you brake, so don't get grease or oil on the disc or pad.

The pistons that come out when you push the pedal down, come out because as you brake it pushes the brake fluid against them and they push the brake pad against the disc. The brake fluid should lubricate the inside, and there should be a dust boot on the outside (pad side) to keep dirt and dust out.

I am really sorry mate BUT if you are asking questions like this, PLEASE dont even contemplate taking off your wheels let alone servicing your brakes, leave them to a mechanic
