As many of you may have seen already, Im in the search for new greases for brake jobs here and there. I thought this might need its own post- since its specific.
The general consensus is to use a "dielectric" silicone grease ( lack of a better word, I know... ) on the pins. Many recommend the 3m 08946 paste or the Mission Auto dielectric grease/silicone paste. Looking at them online, they seem like the run of the mill one ingredient silicone paste.
Then I saw a few people mention the Raybestos DBL2T / ACDelco 10-4019 silicone greases ( which are rebranaded Fuchs 839 )... These make more sense to me than the ones posted above, since these contain PTFE in the mix... Thus giving some lubricity properties to the basic silicone grease...
Thoughts?
