Front brake pad shims

In answering my own question, Yes you can re-use the old shims and using permatex brake quiet spray adhesive helps to bond the shims to the back of the pad to make the reinstall of the caliper much easier. The changeout was quite easy and gratifying.

Yes, but it's messy trying to clean up the moly lube. Just buy aftermarket Akebono ceramic pads with integrated shims. Good deal from online stores like rockauto.com

What exactly is the purpose for the usage of moly lube on shims and how properly apply the lube ?

Are you talking with a stick-on shims? I got pads with these, but they did not look good and I installed factory shims - they fit very well.
