What type of grease do you use to lubricate the caliper guide pins?

Answer 1

silicon dielectric grease[available from 3-m] rejects water and does not eat rubber.and has the high temp characteristics to handle the job.
do not allow on friction surfaces or pad guide surfaces

Answer 2

All of the Parts store chains sell high-temperature, silcone-based, specially formulated grease for brake system parts-not much more expensive than regular grease, but worth not having calipers hang up
NAPA also has some called Sli-Glide that we use here in the shop.

Answer 3

I've never used anything on the slider bolts. Any grease on these will just collect dust, get baked on the slider and prevent the caliper from sliding freely. Make sure they are clean, smooth, and tight.

Answer 4

A thin film of wheel bearing grease can be used. Do not however use standard Lithium grease as it actually will draw water to it.

Answer 5

go to your auto parts store and ask for it, here Auto Zone and Checkers sell/give you a small tube good for one axle. the tube you get from Ford will last you months if you're a brake tech, but you'll be amazed at the uses around the house for high temp dielectric silicone grease.

Answer 6

dieletric grease is what ford now recomends and has for a few years never had a problme with it

Answer 7

white silocone grease is good but you can really use any kind of grease. exept for cooking

Answer 8
