Post by: Super Mykul on April 14, 2013, 20:19:10
Hello to all !

My technical adviser tells to me in november 2012 , '' you had to do the first maintenance of your calipers brakes '' which is is to do in few months ... okay man ...  :whistler: , l'm able to to this ...

My car is just 10 months aged and 40 000 km later  ( yes you really read 40 000 km ) ,  so i do it !!!

Good work, and exactly what I did this weekend to my car and my daughters Coupe  :goodjob2:

Presumably your advisor said the All Purpose grease was OK for the brakes environment?

Hi Keith ,

These grease is a single product in here  , i dont ask to my advisor , '' witch grease l use to lubricate my slinding pins '' , no no no , any quality grease will do the job , allright  :wink:  ... but l'm not satisfied about my job ( calipers rust again )  , do it again with '' die grinder '' and paint with quality paint ... post pics when the job was done .

Personally, I'd be using High Melting Point anywhere near disc brake environments. If that stuff melts & gets on the discs, there isn't going to be a lot of braking, or insurance probably.  :fum: :fum: :fum: :fum:

IMO You need to urgently change that grease, unless it is marked on the packaging.
