quick brake lube question newbie question this is first brake job. Do I apply the brake lube to the pad?? It seems prety obvious, but just wanted to double check :judge: |
NO, just the slidder pins and metal guides..clean parts first. |
shiiiiiiiiit, I guess I need to pull the pads off and try to clean them now :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: better luck next time I guess. this sucks at least I only did the drivers side of the car today. :jest: |
If it was me, I would replace the pads and clean the rotors with a ton of brake clean. |
dude, you cant get any of that stuff on the rotor or pad surface, only the guides. the pads are fucked now, dont even try to use them. |
The small tube of blue or red or grey lube that comes with pads goes on the metal back plate that faces the caliper. Its anti-squeak lube/grease. Lube/grease should not go on the friction side (the side that faces the rotor). |
The disc brake quiet stuff goes on the back of the pads (red,blue, etc) kind of a rubbery liquid The caliper grease (stuff I got is black and greasy/messy) goes on the caliper guide pins after you've cleaned out the caliper pin slots and pins. Are his pads done? Could he drive around for a half hour riding his brakes to clean it off? Just wondering |
It sounds like I need new pads again :bang: :bang: At least I know what not to do :jest:. This realy sucks cant believe I ruined brand new pads :cry: |
