Hey guys, I’m trying to find out what type of grease/lube everyone else is using when replacing brake pads on hydraulic brake buses. The Bosch Slide Pin brake service manual lists Shell Albida® MPS-1 Grease. A google search is telling me that this lube has been discontinued by the manufacturer. I had been using CRC brake caliper grease but after a few repeat brake jobs it looks like this grease is hardening up a bit and is making the rubber bushing on the trailing pin swell and crack causing more problems. I picked up a bottle of Permatex 24110 Ultra Disc Brake Caliper Lube to try out, but in my quest for more information I searched this product and a few reviews mentioned the product causing rubber swelling so I might be back in the same boat. On a side note, does anyone have a source/part number to buy just the orange rubber bushing? I’ve been buying the guide pin kit R4011754 just for this bushing and now I’m swimming in extra parts because most of the other items in the kit are not needed.
brake slide pin lube?
