As you know from my last post, I'm doing work to my front end. I was just flipping throughmy FSM just to refresh my memory on a couple things and one thing I saw in the FSM under reinstallation of front brake pads they say to apply "Pad Grease" to working portions of caliper and both sides of anti-squeel shims. My question is about the "Pad Grease" Is this some sort of special grease for the brake components only or can any light coating of multipurpose grease be used?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jared, I just googled this up for you. http://www.performanceproducts.com/ProductPage.aspx?pid=101136&name=Brake+Caliper+Grease&type=10

I'm guessing this would work on the pads as well.

I think it is a high temp grease. Normal stuff will melt and may end up on your pads, which isn't good. But I'm not 100% sure.

hhmm interesting. Thanks for googling that Chris. I appreciate it.

Yeah, I suppose normal grease wouldn't be able to handle that kind of heat when you think about how hot they get.

I found this also, it even mentions a name brand but no specifics on the compound. http://www.ttzd.com/tech/brakestech.html

Quote from web page..."If not using a new shim kit, clean up the old shims and use some CRC 'Disc Brake Quiet'. It's a small red bottle of PCB type grease as a replacement"

Trying to google CRC now.

Thanks again. I did already order up the front brake hardware kit along with all my other goodies from Courtesy Nissan.

antiseaze would also work. apply on back of pads and moving parts.

apply to any metal to metal contacts between the pad and calliper. jus make sure u keep it off the pad surface. It helps with pad noise and squeel.
