Grease for brake components

As long as you understand where to use it Copaslip is fine.

Don't get it on any non-metallic materials, don't get it on any friction surfaces, keep it away from ABS components.

If you are going to specifically buy "brake grease", they will all be much the same and are silicone-based.

There are many websites that talk bollocks, just don't cover everything in it

Any antiseize compound should be fine .

It's re-branded Mintex and you will pay a premium for the Pagid name.

You need special grease for parts that have rubber boots like sliding pins. Mineral based grease will eat the rubber and allow water in causing the caliper to seize. Mintex Ceratec is a good brake grease as it's compatible with rubber. It can also be used anywhere copperslip is used like back and thrust ends of pads so you don't need 2 different greases for the brake job.

and it is only three quid a tube

Thanks for the info all.

Yeah I realise where to put it where nto to now :)

Just a dab on the back of pads (metal on metal) and a smear on the sliders, and caliper pins.

Forgot to ask is servisol grease any good as I have a tube of that in my tootlbox.

I bought a 500g tub of millers red brake grease (specifically for brake pistons and seals) for a fiver today in a local shop. on ebay they rare 13 quid, so maybe I should buy more and re-sell it.
