I use the CRC Ceramic brake grease. Stuff lasts forever and the brakes are as quiet as a mouse. It's expensive compared to other brake grease, but I won't use anything else.

You can get a small tube that can do dozens of pad installs for around $3.....

Do they sell those in every auto parts store? I don't remember seeing any brake grease at Autozone.
|
I know O'Rilley carries it, A'Zone should too.
Permatex/Ultra disc brake caliper lube (20356) | Brake Lube | AutoZone.com_ |
Thank you all for the help! I will try this when the weather clears up.
|
Also I don't have to put the grease all over the back of the pad right? Just on the areas where the caliper and pad contact.
|
Yeah, the "ears" of the pad. Also the piston itself, but just a little, like was said earlier. And most importantly the slide pins.
I did my rears a while ago, and one of my calipers stuck slightly because I didn't clean and grease them. Pull all of them all the way out, use a degreaser to get the old crud off. You want clean metal. I ended up using an acid chrome wheel cleaner to get mine shiny again. Your girl will appreciate the extra lube. You can take that any way you like...lol |
I got the Silaramic grease at Autozone

Just clean them, and ensure the caps are installed to keep them clean and dry. |
Where did you learn this? I had a famiky member that was a bmw master tech and he told me to apply a thin layer of grease to the slide pins to keep them free of corrosion and to keep them sliding freely. I have always done so and have never had a problem. How would grease swell sleeves?
