Self proclaimed gearhead and hobby racer here. I've tried it all in search of any advantage and honestly i wouldn't recommend putting it anywhere but the slider pins. Any exposed grease will just collect dust until it becomes a hard clump of crud doing the exact opposite of what you intend. Especially on the pad slider shims. I wouldn't use that grease either. Nothing but high temp silicone ceramic grease on the pins. Everything else just clean is what works best.

@@LifeOfATLS You can as long as you haven't overheated the caliper and the slider pins move very freely. In fact, a pad slap is what most people do. Or if you went to a quick lube place to get it done, that's all you would get. It's easier than you'd think and a good move to clean all the petroleum base grease off the pins and replace it with high temperature silicone ceramic grease, the orange one. It will give you a lot longer worry free operation. I have seen people do a straight pad slap and even overlook changing the pad slider shims. This is a big no-no. Also, most people never even think about the condition of their ten year old brake fluid. If it's been long enough to need new pads, it's been long enough to need a fluid flush.

@jegerm6752 Good call, man. I know this from experience. I used to do it wrong when I was young. Not only will the grease make the rubber deteriorate, but if you think about it logically, grease that's impregnated with a ceramic powder has absolutely no place being used in a machined pin bore that has a fairly tight tolerance. There is usually an anti-rattle rubber ring on either the pin or down in the pin bore. So there's no need to use a ceramic impregnated grease for its noise dampening properties anyway. Also, if you put said grease on the aforementioned rubber ring on the pin, it can actually cause it to swell up rather quickly, making it incredibly difficult to reinsert the pin. Like I said, been there, done that. Good call on the silicone.

CRC brake grease is great stuff. It's a flouronated silicone so it's even more stable at high heat. It's safe on rubber and plastics. It also contains a blend of graphite and molybdenum which improves lubricity under high loads and for metal to metal contact. I Deffinately do the slide pins, and a small dab on little brackets. The application on the caliper/shim is optional, but is good peace of mind. I also recomend cleaning the rust off of the hub and applying a small ammount of antisize when replacing rotors.

Too much grease. When doing a brake job always clean and remove the old grease from the guide pins inside the caliper pin hole. I used a drill bit and brake clean. Once it's dry grease the pin and leave a glob on the tip of the guide pin. For the bracket itself start by removing the brake hardware. File down both sides flat and clean. Then apply grease to the bracket itself, install the new hardware and then install pads directly into the bracket with no grease on the pad itself. If you are using new hardware and quality parts you do not need any lube on the pads. We do dozens per day at the shop and have a lifetime warranty and I just checked and we haven't had to warranty out of brake job for over 17 years.
