Slider pins grease - what type should I use?

Postby NMX516 » Wed Sep 01, 2010 11:14 pm

Hi folks,

Any suggestions on what type of grease to use for greasing the caliper slider pins? I have used Castrol grease previously - the one in the red tub - and also have some PBR rubber grease on hand but not sure if that is suitable or not.

Thanks in advance :)

Cheers

I used a tube of CRC Synthetic Brake Caliper Grease. Still have heaps of it - it goes a long way.

Thanks JBT, I'll make a visit to Repco to try and track some down.

Could also try a Brake and Clutch Place.
You might like to be near a chair when they tell you the price!

As JBT said, it goes a long way
