Sure - there's big bolts that attach the caliper bracket to the axle or whatever. Just like attaching to the steering knuckle in front. Those don't need lube.
Then there's the caliper slide pins. On our '89 those were inside rubber boots with PTFE sleeves. Maybe some silicone grease, but I'm not sure they need lubrication.
The caliper & pads slide against the caliper bracket. There's a couple points that I usually greased. Like the top & bottom of the pad backing plate & maybe someplace where the caliper slides against the bracket. I don't remember exactly.
But then there's that lever where the handbrake cable attaches. There's a seal at the caliper body, maybe you can do something there? My handbrake was dragging for a few miles & the caliper got really hot. I tried working that free, but no luck. So I just got rebuilt calipers.
