When doing it my way, the pin should bounce back easily when pushed into the hole with your finger. Do not create a vacuum like this guy:ĭon't remove all the air as this leaves the pin compressed in the hole and prevents the pin from moving easily. Here, this grease can withstand high temperatures without compromising performance. Also for greasing the mounting spots on the backing plates on earlier model. Instead, people should use specialized brake grease. Brake grease is used to lubricate the brake adjustingscrew, on older model cars.

It is simply a component that will not provide the proper result. Insert the pin part way, then with the boot at it's normal position (not compressed or over extended) hold the boot in position and push the pin into the boot so as to not compress the boot or evacuate all the air. Generally, experts do not recommend using normal chassis grease for the various components of the brake system. Use brakes 9CC-BRGR every time your replace brake. When inserting the newly greased pin, do not compress the boot. Apply a thin layer of brakes caliper grease to all surfaces according to manufacturer instructions. One tip I found out from doing this several times over the past year or so: I cleaned out the old grease with a bunch of wooden Q tips, paper towels and Brakleen. Although the remaining grease looked kinda white and not pink, it smelled very similar to the new Toyota stuff I was about to install (moldy smell). Super Lube Silicone Lubricating Brake Grease should be used at every point in the brake system where parts slide or move. I was doing the rear brakes for the first time today so they still have the factory grease on the pins. The previous brake grease job on the front pins I did from about 1k miles ago was totally gummed up - no movement. Got a change to relube the pins today with the Toyota stuff.
