Top 10 Brake system GREASING Points, How to grease the brake system 

Excellent job

Been doing everything you pointed out in this video for 23+ years. Never had any problems with any of my brake jobs. Glad someone is teaching people the right way to do it. Great job!

Ive been doing this for 15 years for my Toyota RAV4 3.5L V6 2008. I will never change this car for a new car because I know what I put and quality parts in my car. I bought 38K new on 2008 + maintenance in total of more than 50k ❤ ✌️ thank you 🙏 for making this video your amazing putting people safety!

It's rare to see someone doing things right. Such a useful video, thanks!

That’s probably the best brake job video I have seen. Very detailed and straight forward. Thank you Sir.

Attention to detail is what separates the hacks from Professionals like you. My Man.

Awesome video. It’s refreshing when someone actually knows what they are talking about. Well done sir.

My rear calipers were getting stuck. After cleaning everything I installed new rubber seals, grommets and greased up nicely like you showed in the video. Good work thank you for the tutorials.

I like the way you describe what your doing!! Most mechanics don’t even clean the stuff they fix. I’m a true believer in cleaning anything I take off before I put it back on. But thank you for your time. I’m already done but still watch your videos

Finally! somebody who says where to put grease instead of the keyboard warriors saying this is wrong..that is wrong...and nobody can agree on where to grease things. Good video.

Perfect. Straightforward, to the point, no messin' around, LOTS of excellent tips to make it great. Thank you!!

Great job. Thanks for posting. Straight n to the point, no BS.

One of the most complete videos on lubing brakes I found so far. And from a place that specializes in brakes.. great find!

When cleaning the brake dust, spray down with brake cleaner or similar to get area wet. Then use a brush and sweep downward & outward with your hand. Using compressed air will send the cancer dust all up in the air for you or your co-workers to breathe in.

Very thorough and educational. Have been doing much of this but I learned a couple of new things today!

Good video man. Thanks. Doing my brakes on my 2015 WRX.

Great video! I have done a ton of brake jobs in my life and always do them just as you described in this video!

I like how you grease the pin and the brush the rust off the holder right next to the greased pin so the rust will collect all over your nicely greased pin. This is the level of professionalism that causes me to preform my own maintenance.

Thank you for sharing RB!

Trevor Dunn was like around 23 when this came out. How can you make such riffs in early 20s damn this guy is pure genius and you play it very well 🎉

Thanks for those brake tips, wish more mechanics would do the same care of work like You do😊

Nice break job, keep up the good quality work!

Dude great video! Thanks for the useful info. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the share. Using silicone grease on any parts with rubber contact (like the guide pins with the rubber bushings and the pistons) is a must. Petroleum based grease will cause the bushings on the pins to expand locking the pins in place and ultimately warping the rotors for example.

Straight to the point. I learned a lot from this. Many thanks.

Excellent tutorial! I didnt know if I should grease the pad brackets/seats...

I just found your channel. Vidoes are fantastic! I have subscribed and plan to search to see if there are any for current issues I'm having. I also need to find a good channel for motorcycles. I'm no mechanic and there are certain things that I won't even attempt, but for the simpler things that I can do, I appreciate knowledgeable people like you sharing your expertise! I can afford to own my car, but keeping up with everything required or when things go bad is really difficult these days. Thanks again!

I'm in my late 60s and I've never slathered on the grease on the brake system. Just key points. The caliper sliding contact points and the mount bolts that it slides on. That's it. It has always seemed more important to me to shine the sliding contact points more than anything. Give them a fresh start. As long as those sliding surfaces are smooth they will do much better.

Thank you for your help with this video you are a legend and amazing with your service and very well done 👍✅👍✅💯🏆💪🤟🙏 God bless you and your family and friends please stay safe out there and with the crazy drivers out there

Nice to the point and clean info, props!

Thank you for showing us how to do it the right way...

Love how you blew air bro! 😂 Good video and thanks again!

Super! Thanks

Great video! I also grease the little screw that keeps the rotor on the hub just so it comes off easy next time

Thanks for great explanation!

Great Video and thank you for your time! I have been using Liqui Moly Anti Squeak Paste and I got a terrific results. In Adittion to that I managed to put A Special German Grease that can be 💉 injected under that boot in order to lubricate the Piston itself without taking it a Part. My Unlce was a Mechanic for Mercedes-Benz for 31 Y and he told me about this Grease. Grease Called (Bremszylinder- Paste) Comes only from Germany 🇩🇪 It's absolutely Great and made my Brake function like Brand New.

We got the same light I approve of this man

I agree with your grease points for the most part except for a few exceptions like the surface of the back of the pad I would not have greased instead I would have went to the caliper and greased those points so that way you don't have a huge surface of grease on the pad that isn't even being touched and accumulates grime and dirt and also just a waste of grease in my opinion. I also like to put some lubricant on the face of the rotor in between the wheel studs. And not saying that yours needed it but generally I go a little crazier with wire brush.

Thanks for the tips on this subject matter

Nice video. I like to replace the slide pin boots too, since they deteriorate rather quickly around here and don't cost much.

Excellent as always! My only suggestion would be to anti-seize the Honda screws that hold the rotor in place.

I like the way you blew the air. Who needs a blower? Ty Sir for sharing your knowledge

Baring bing bara boom. Short and great video like alwats!

Just to add if your rotors don't have the screws you can wind 2 lug nuts on to hold your rotor in place. Good video👍

¡El mas excelente! ¡Eres una bomba!

Greasing the back of the pads will attract a pile of brake dust. I spray them with Disc Brake Quiet from NAPA. Its a red coating in a spray can.

This is exactly how I do brake jobs. Only differences are I do “over grease” the pins and I always thoroughly clean up and or paint the calipers and clean splash guard and suspension up because of my OCD but anyways, perfect service shop technique vid!

I use anti seize around hub and bracket where hardware goes. Also don’t over grease your pins! Also, I put antiseize on the pad ears. Never put anything on the back of pads. I try to minimize the use of grease….it collects too much dust and dirt!

Thanks for showing us the right way to get it done. It takes just another minute to do it right. Why doesn’t everyone?

An excellent video, RB. Some great tips and best practices. If only every garage did it like this, they wouldn't have such a bad rep. I would, however, like to make the following points: <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="30">0:30</a> "blow on it" - NO don't do that, the dust gets in the air and you may end up breathing it in. Wash with a solvent (brake cleaner) <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="90">1:30</a> I've never greased the boots, but I like the suggestion. I'll start doing that <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="110">1:50</a> you pushed the pistons in with the bleed nipple closed - you should clamp the hose and open the nipple to expel the old fluid and top up the master cylinder with fresh. The caliper end is likely to have the highest level of moisture in the fluid and pushing it backwards up the system puts it in the ABS valve block where it can cause corrosion and eventual early life failure of the ABS. 2.30 I notice you didn't clean the disc. Whilst most discs no longer come 'oiled', give them a wash to make sure they are not dirty, especially the mating face to ensure there is no dirt causing it to run out of true. A minor point, but valid. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="200">3:20</a> no copper grease in sight 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I'm in touch with Textar (TMP Friction) and am hoping to make a video specifically about why NOT to use copper grease <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a> see all that dust. Don't go breathing it in. Wet with a cleaner while brushing <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="320">5:20</a> yep, pads should run dry in the carrier 👏👏👏👏👏 yep, jams the pads if you do

Thanks for the content

Nice video! Metal vs metal interfaces must use molybdenum grease type, metal vs rubber parts must use silicone grease type

Bada bing bada boom. I love it! Fuggetaboutit.

Great presentation.

Good work RB! Ive changed about 40 sets of brake pads and didnt REALLY ever grease anything. I think I WILL DEFinitely start tho! Thx for the stellar vids!

Great video!

I like to open the bleeder screw when you push the piston in then hold then tighten screw. You can damage the master cylinder or ABS valve block pushing the old fluid back.

Toyota brake was equipped with shim. I applied Toyota shim grease on the back of brake pad then clip the shim onto brake pad to reduce vibration.

Nice job explaining

great video rb

Do Dallas damazing video I've been doing brakes for forever and I did not know that I did not have to grease the the little stainless steel braces so I clean mine up Andre fixed it and my car run 10 times better and I don't have that grinding noise because all the grit and stuff was getting built up in there thank you for that video good stuff

I don't paint the back of the pads with grease like the video, but I do put some on the caliper ears and the piston/boot. That's what every replacement pad Ive ever installed instructs you to do with the supplied grease. As well as where the pad contacts the caliper. Im not sure why you would grease under the hardware.

Great advice- subscribed and looking forward to your orher videos. Best wishes from Australia - MAGA! 👍

Great video excatly how ive been doing mine for yrs, teach right teach once ehh, must say I do grease the metal brake plates as we dont get them with our brake pads kits here in Australia top brands or not

Tip to lubricate piston prior to compressing so lube is already there is great, thanks!

Thanks for the detailed video. I've never greased the caliper piston boots but will do now. Two-part question: do you apply threadlocker on the caliper bolt threads? If so, do you use blue or red? Thanks.

Silicone lubricants usually suitable for temperature below 400F (200C). It is more reasonable to use Ceramic based grease.

That looks Cherry bro :lol:. Come to upstate NY, brakes are a rusty scary mess. Everything welded together. I just did an explorer parking brake and the linkage was not two pieces but one solid mass. Needed lots of heat to separate, then dropped it in cold. Cleaned up, Greased it up with the black grease you show, but still have to check it every year.

Best to spray brake cleaner inside the guide's and clean them out before putting new pins and rubber boots back. They are too cheap not to change them out.

thank you so much kind sir

Great job

Good 👍

Just subscribed.

Brake cleaner in your caliper guide pin holes. Works great

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="412">6:52</a> The only thing I do differently is that I put grease on the contact points of the caliper and piston top edge. Great video!

No grease on the back of the pads under any circumstances! And the only way I would concider putting grease under the hardware is if I lived in the rust belt. Between the rotor and hub and on the screw that holds the rotor a lite amount of anti-seize. And something alot of mechanics overlook is cleaning the old grease out of the holes that the sliding pins go in. If you just add new grease every brake job you could run into problems.

Great video! I would have also greased or used anti-seize on the rotor screw…

I put some on the back of my pads because that’s what I’ve seen in your and other videos, but they had some textured polymer already on the back, so I doubt I the grease helps anything in that spot.

Happy thanksgiving’s mr rb

So about greasing the outer pad -> you put grease around the entire backing plate but only a small portion of that comes into contact with the caliper 'fingers' (you have 3 in your case), the rest is exposed to the elements and just collects gunk/grit, no? I was told to put the grease on the back of those fingers and on the piston itself, that way it's only where it's needed. Thoughts?

It's a good video in respect of where to grease, but I think I would do all the cleaning and brushing before I'd grease anything dust goes everywhere.

I've seen a lot of people claim you MUST open the bleed screw to avoid pushing brake fluid back into the master cylinder....

What do you think of sil glyde on just the slider pins and copper antiseize on contact points only metal? What’s the difference in why people use antiseize vs the CRC brake grease you’re using in this video?

Your awesome. Paid 1400 for bmw brake pads and rotors. They choose not to clean and lube the sliders and less then 3000 miles later I was about 3mm left of front pads

Could you let me know whats the torque specs for 2021 dodge charger RT for rear brakes. TIA🙏🏽

I have used it, but better than CRC caliper grease on the mating faces of hub and rotor, is aluminum or copper antiseize (also under the heads of the retention screws). If aluminum wheels are mounted, this will make a later brake job much easier . Antiseize is a sacrificial material that won't attract or hold contaminants as any grease will, and it will oxidize slower than steel. The aluminum and copper oxides do not swell as much as iron oxide does and aren't as abrasive. Nickle antiseize is even better but very expensive. It's worth the effort to use foam swabs (qtips) to clean out the pin bores and use brake clean to flush away any old petroleum grease residue.

How you likin that ac delco brake grease ? I seen good reviews on it.

Great video! One question: why grease UNDER the clips when the moving brake pads move across the clips, not the bracket?

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="258">4:18</a> greasing the mounting bracket, youre using the CRC Brake and Caliper grease right? Thanks

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="220">3:40</a> you mention it is important to put the slider pins in the same spot where they came from, why is that? Which slider pin goes on top?

Would it be bad to use a silicone spray on the rubber parts like slide pin boots and piston seals?

Can the same grease be used on both applications or is the second group that you used and what product is it

Would aerosol white lithium grease work instead of the silicon grease? I replaced the front wheel hubs on my Ram 4x4 but used white lithium where I needed grease. This was a couple of months ago.

Can I use the same caliper grease you used on the hub for the pins?

nice video, no need to put grease behind the little stainless steel clips though since they aren't really supposed to move and as you mentioned should ideally be replaced every pad change anyways

Is the black grease that you used in the video anti seize grease? I see some people use the copper version.

What about the top and bottom "ears" of the brake pads?

Man I wish all vehicles had that rotor screw... It makes things so much easier rather than fighting the rotor to keep it straight

Why not use the silicone grease for all of it? Why is a different grease used for the hub/rotor contact area and the back of the brake pads instead of using the silicone grease for everything? Also, would Super Lube be a good choice to use in any of these brake parts applications or is silicone grease superior here? Reason I'm asking is that I have a new tube of Super Lube and when I bought it I thought it was basically a type of silicone grease but after researching it recently I'm finding out that it's not so I'm still trying to find out which grease is superior in which particular applications between Super Lube and silicone grease........Thanks for the video. 👍

I am eager to do my own brakes due to some mechanic do a terrible job on my oem brake pads. I have a question regarding my brand new oem front pads and rotors. I am getting squeaky noises from these new oem 2017 toyota camry. My mechanic inform me that it is the new brake pads that are the problem. Is my mechanic telling the truth? I would greatly appreciate your help. He had yelled at me for coming inn to recheck my brakes. Thank you for your RU-vid video. Larry
