Brake Grease? Use The Right Caliper Slide Pin Lubricant!

Before doing a brake pad / rotor replacement, make sure you lubricate the brake caliper slide pins with dielectric grease. This grease is also called plumber's grease and silicone grease. It will not dry out under heat and prevents rubber from swelling (like the rubber dust boots over the slide pins). Other petroleum based lubricants (grease) may get dry and brittle from heat and lose it's lubrication properties. When this happens, the slide pins may get stuck and will not allow the caliper to "float" with pad wear. This will result in uneven pad wear as well as poor braking performance.
