27492, Hi temp grease??? For guide bolts on Calipers?
Posted by jsupetran, Jul-05-05 05:47 PM
Hi when I was shopping for brake accessories to do my moms car, I looked for hi-temp grease material since in the Haynes Manual it said to apply some on the guide bolts on the calipers. Anyway, the autozone parts monkey said that anti-squeel compound you place behind the brake pads can be used as the hi-temp grease for the guide bolts... Is that true????? AND where can I find hi-temp grease if I need to use it.

Ive used the antisqueal, Ive used regular grease, Ive used high-temp grease, its all about the same, the hightemp stuff just last a little longer, look at the hardware store for some

Out of all the materials i have used, i choose anti sieze on the guide bolts. High temp grease is nice but I have seen calipers not slide smoothly and hang up, seen it more than once to just chalk it up to coincidence.

I also found a light grease made for guide pins and such called sylica glide or something like that. That has worked ok but i still prefer antisieze.
