Hi guys, I bought a rebuild kit for my rear calipers and noticed 2 types of grease supplied.1 is a red grease/paste, the other is a small amount of green lube of some sort. Before I take the calipers apart, I was just wondering which grease goes where. cheers |

Red rubber grease is what you are supposed to use on the piston - it's the only thing i've found which doesn't dry out. I'm not sure what the green lube is, but you normally put Molybdenum Disulphide on sliders though it's pretty hard to come by.Some people use lithium on the sliders, others use copper. Some people suggest copper will abrade the sliders, but i've never noticed anything. Mine are still free and easy to move and i've not been in there for 2+ years, just the pistons. Do the packets not identify what the greases are? ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |
