brake caliper problem.

hey is there anything else i can use to grease the slide on my brake calipers? everything i try just f##ks up my rotors again, and currently i can't afford the honda caliper grease.

If your brake pads are worn w/ grooved/warped rotors, no grease will help that problem.

i know i have brand new rotors and brand new pads and i need to replace them again after i get more money and will be buying honda caliper slide grease. but for the time being i can't afford jack shit and i need to know what people who don't buy honda stuff use to grease their caliper slide. can anyone contribute any usefull information besides taking me for an idiot.

sorry if that came off harsh it's just that i'm having a terrible day, and the dude who said that could know jack shit about hondas for all i know he has a vette.

ok still having a bad day had to cut out many curse words, sorry again.

I use Lithium Grease.

where do you get that?

Sears, it comes in cans that u put in a grease gun. But I'm sure any autoparts store will have a tube of it. Grease is grease, there is no need to pay more because it says Honda on it.

use silicon grease. wont lithium eat the rubber up ?

Yep I know jack shit about Honda's! Only worked for Honda for a while & now work on them almost every day. I do have a honda, thanks. Better describe your problem & you'll get a better answer.

Why are you going to grease the slide on my brake calipers? What does this do? When do ya need to do this? How do ya do this??????
My Breaks are not very good will this help?

Brake inspection/cleaning/adjustment should be done atleast every 15K on Honda's. You do this for the inspections & to lube things. Brakes get very hot & need to move freely.

Disc brake service:
Lift & support vehicle
Remove front tires
Remove caliper
Remove pads & shims
Inspect pads, rotors, calipers
Lube slides w/ silicone grease& pad backing, shims, reatainers w/ Molykote M77
Squeeze piston back in caliper
Re-assemble & spray down with brake cleaner

Disc brake service:
Lift & support vehicle
Remove rear tires
Dis-engage e-brake
Remove drum
Inspect drum, shoes, wheel cyclinders, & bearings
Clean w/ brake cleaner
Lube all contact points
Turn clevis(adjusting screw about 7-10 turns, re-install drum & make sure it moves freely.
Re-assemble

You could also add a brake bleed into if it has never been done. start with right rear, left rear, right front, left front.

silicone grease, nice guess i should call pam anderson.
just kidding. i'll prolly go out and buy some silicone grease for my next paycheck. thanx guys.
