Pad disc change piston query

James · 2007-10-31T17:31:11+00:00

Okey dokey right to the point.I'm going to be changing my front discs on wifes mk4 golf. Just been through it with the haynes.Just wondering do I need to put a smear of grease around the pistion ring itself ?Also someone on the caliper guide pins ?Also it says when winding piston back to bleed system. Can I get away with just removing some of the brake fluid, leaving it open and refilling when the piston winds back easily hopefully ?thanks

I do. Hebce using the specified lubricant, not something completely & utterly different. I don't use brake grease as anti seize either.
