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

NO, just the slidder pins and metal guides..clean parts first.

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
