CRC 05353 Brake Caliper Grease - 12 oz.

Use this on any rubber parts at your own risk! It will swell when exposed to a variety of rubber compounds. This was something I had to learn the hard way. The description is deceptive. This grease should only be applied to metal-to-metal contacts. Use a silicone-based grease on the caliper pins. Raybestos and SilGlyde both sell silicone-based greases that are suitable for use with rubber compounds.

The rubber boots and the rubber o rings on the Toyota caliper pins swelled after I used this grease on them. The caliper glide barrels had to be completely cleaned out, and the rubber seals and o rings for the glide pins had to be replaced. My next-door neighbor works for a big car company as a mechanical engineer. He explained that when rubber products come into contact with petroleum-based products, a chemical reaction occurs, and that only silicone-based grease is compatible with the majority of rubber compounds. Customers are being misled by CRC, which claims that this grease is compatible with rubber compounds. It's an outright lie. This is something that any competent petroleum engineer or chemical engineer should be aware of.

Because it swelled the rubber when I used it on it! To put it politely, the label is in the middle. Its b. I used this grease on the glide pins after replacing the caliper glide pins and seals with new parts. The rubber boots, as well as the o ring on the caliper pins, swelled up in a matter of minutes! As a result, we state that it is incompatible with all rubber compounds. My next-door neighbor, who works for Honda as a mechanical engineer, explained how this grease reacts with a variety of rubber compounds. Honda's caliper glide pins are greased with silicone, according to him. This is something that any chemical engineer would be aware of. Why does CRC continue to mislead customers by using total b. It's impossible to comprehend what they've written on their label.

YES! That is precisely what we do with it. The brake pad and the caliper are in contact with each other. We use it on caliper brackets where pads ride, as well as on slide pins, to absorb vibration and reduce brake noise. There have been a lot of brake jobs completed with almost no complaints.
