going to install some EBC greenstuff pads tomorrow night.
figure i might as well give the pistons a good greasing and check everything over while i'm at it.
what sort of grease do you recommend and why?
i've got some high temperature bearing grease in the shed, probably what i'll use if i'm not advised against it.

Why bother asking our advice then :?: Use petroleum based grease on your brake system at your peril. :shock:
