AGS SIL-Glyde 4 oz Tube Silicone Based Brake Assembly Lubricant for Eliminating Disc Brake Squeal - Moisture Proof, Heat Resistant, Rust and Corrosion Protector

Others have said it before, but this one is truly secure. Other brake lubricants claim to be safe for plastic and rubber, but they will degrade non-plastic and rubber materials. I won't use anything else near any plastic or rubber, including piston boots and pin guides/covers/housings, because it's the safest option. I've tried others that claim to be safe for rubber and plastic, but the sleeve through which a pin slides has degraded dangerously. I then saw numerous forum posts about gummy plastic/rubber decomposition with other "safe" lubricants for various Mercedes and BMW models. br>br>It's also worth noting that there are other Sil- If it isn't labeled "Brake," Glyde Silicone lubricant shouldn't be used. It's fine for a variety of other applications, but if it doesn't say "Brake," it wasn't designed to withstand the heat, friction, and compression, and it'll melt or run - Perhaps onto braking surfaces, but certainly not where it is needed. br>br>In metal-working applications, I still use ceramic or copper-infused paste, which is more compressible. Areas of metal should be kept away from rubber and plastic. On the backs of the pads, I also apply a thin layer of sticky red CRC brake quiet. All you have to do is make sure it's thin and that you don't scrape the backs against the piston face as you insert them to avoid getting sticky stuff on the rubber boot. Finally, I apply a very thin layer of silver anti-bacterial to my skin. seize on the face of the hub - Applying a very thin coat, then wiping off the majority of it and being very careful not to get it in lug holes or on other surfaces. Yes, that's four separate items, but scrimping on one "brake paste" isn't worth it: returning to the room to silence a squeal; For the next job, I'm going to beat on the disc and bring out a torch; clogging up braking surfaces in a dangerous way; clogging up the brakes in a dangerous way; Alternatively, you could risk damaging your piston seal. If I had to choose just one lubricant for a brake job, I'd polish the hub face and wheel face, and I'd use this one conservatively in all four situations, because it won't cause any of the dangerous situations when used correctly.

The rotor and brake pads were warping, so I replaced them. However, I discovered that the rotor and brake pads were in good condition, with the exception that the caliper pin lube had dried up and the pin was not moving smoothly back and forth. (Actually, pulling it out is difficult for me. ) br>I replaced them anyway because I already had the AC Delco Rotor and Pads. I was convinced that the warping was caused by the Caliper Pin being too tight and dry. The brake is now smooth and quiet after I applied this silicone Brake Lubricant to the pin. When working on brakes, don't forget to check, clean, and lube the pin.

This is one of the few lubricants that actually works and that mechanics recommend. for brake jobs (rather than the manufacturers). I didn't want to pay the outrageous price for the OEM Toyota brake part lubricant, so I scoured the internet for a suitable substitute. I use it to lubricate the caliper pins and the brake anti-lock brakes because it's one of the few affordable alternatives that seems to get good reviews from everyone. It appears to be able to withstand the extreme heat generated by the brake pads, rotors, and calipers. Manufacturers would prefer you to spend a lot of money on their proprietary lubes, but this method works just as well. br>br>Do not lubricate your caliper pins with the small tube of lubricant that came with your brake pads. It can't handle the extreme heat and gums up, eventually freezing your caliper, preventing it from sliding on the pins. You'll eventually overheat your brakes, wear out the pads, and warp the rotor, just like I did. Use this item or the original equipment manufacturer's item.

It should not be marketed for use with disc brakes. The material isn't heat resistant enough. This is the same silicone grease as you'd find in a kitchen. On my Honda CR-V, I used this. In the spring of 2020, there will be a V and a Toyota Camry. After a year, this stuff had burned off all of the caliper's metal to metal contact points and had dried up into a powdery substance on the slide pins and in the booted slide pin channels. On the Honda, it's especially bad! Three of the four calipers were frozen solid! I recommend using a High Heat ceramic or similar High Heat rated caliper grease for modern disc brakes, even though it is more expensive.

Slider pins for calipers that are insulated. Brake grease isn't all the same. I'd made the mistake of using a different (dark) grease on my RX-1000. There are eight caliper pins in total, two of which have rubber sleeves. As the rubber sleeves swelled, the brakes began to stick. This is something I should have purchased years ago. My issues vanished once I switched to it.

Everything can be done with just one lubricant. This eliminates the guesswork in determining which grease to use for caliper pins versus break pad shims and retainer clips. There is only one lube that can be used by everyone. This worked perfectly on my moonroof as well. It is now possible to open and close the door quietly and smoothly. The only drawback is that it does not include one of those adorable little brushes for application. Put on some gloves and use your hands to apply it. I also like that it's translucent, similar to Vaseline, as opposed to some greases, which are oddly colored and dark. I don't require the coloring of my grease. I'd like it to be aesthetically pleasing, odorless, and non-toxic to both myself and my vehicle's components. This is an amazing product! Your purchase will make you happy. That is something I am certain of.

When it comes to brake caliper bolts, I only use this silicone grease. It does not cause the rubber caliper boots to swell. There are a few other companies that sell silicone grease for brake calipers, but it costs twice as much and doesn't last as long. For years, I've used this silicone grease on both domestic (Chevrolet and Ford) and import (Nissan, Toyota, and Honda) vehicles.

Take it from someone who has worked on brakes for over 35 years. I've tried them all and this stuff is by far the best. It doesn't dry out unless you have a stuck pin or caliper, but if your pins and calipers are working normally and you use this on all contact points, your brakes will last longer. There will never be a noise until the pads are worn out, and it makes replacement a breeze. Syl glide is the product of my choice. It's a 1st-and-foremost!.
