Putting grease on brake pads

[Starushz]

Anyone knows which workshop does this service and how much does it cost? The screeching is damn irritating.

Why not remove the disc brake and that would resolve the screeching noise

most good workshops can do this. . putting brake grease on the BACK of the pads and the spring clips is a common practice all around the world. i have DIY it myself numerous times. i use copper grease or NAPA sil glyde.

 

maybe you can get the workshop to chamfer the edges of the pads to reduce the noise too.

Actually not all workshop do that. Sub standard mechanics. .the grease can also be washed away by those car wash pressure pump...any idea how much it cost?

To diy u must jack up and remove the wheels right?

Its the compound used in pad.

 

Just change to original pad and sound will go away.

 

Unless its a faint sound or else copper grease not gonna work.

Likewise, any one still putting a bit of engine oil on spark plug threads ?

 

Or battery grease ?

Good practice to put engine oil or anti-seize on plug thread.

Otherwise, it may get stuck or corroded and jammed there, then big hassle, taking it out.

title sounds dangerously misleading

Brake pad need to grease on the contact parts but not on the fricition surface. Usually brake grease is hi temp and water proof

Recently the workshop that I did my brakes actually left a grease thumbprint on my new pad. Sian

Lug nuts I don't put, what grease you use for those?

To solve brake squeal its either to change a less metallic brake pads, skim your brake disc if there are too many deep grooves or check if the mech who did the installation threw away the shims while at it.

Plating can come off.

 

It's just good practice when 2 metal surfaces touches each other, under high heat and tension.

 

I've also seen corroded plugs.
