Hey All,
So amongst other things I am replacing my brake pads. Haynes and everybody says to use a copper based grease between the pad and the pistons. From what I can tell the copper grease is a grease with some anti-seize properties. Anyway I was unable to find any at Advanced Auto, but I did get this stuff
(http://www.partsamerica.com/product_images/img/ptx/09177.jpg)
which appears to be for the same purpose. Should there be any problem using this?
This being from the product data sheet

Looks fine to me. :thumb:
You won't need very much - make sure you don't get any on the friction surface.
That's what I use. :cheers:
Lubricate the pin threads as well!
