Default GM brake pins (metal) which tend to rust

Living in the Rochester, NY area. Vehicles rust, and
parts are dificult to remove. The threaded pins for
GM front brakes are often miserable to remove. The
threads are dificult to get to, and tend to rust and lock
up.

What's some of the ways to prevent the rust? And what
are some ways to remove rusted ones?

In the last day or two, I've been helping work on a friend's
car. The T-50 socket tip removed one pin. A metric allen
wrench removed another. And vise grips for yet another.

I cleaned out the threads with a wire brush, and put some
silver Never-Sieze in. He put a dab of neversieze on the
T-50 socket end of the pin, to help keep it from rusting.

Anything else we could have done?
