someone by the name of parts central you can find them on fb imported these so these can be a good alternative

Thanks sir. I already got the 3m silicone paste will look into superlube. Sir could you let ke know which grease to use on c200 brakes on the pad ears etc

[Xulfiqar]

on fixed type calipers, you use a moly or copper antisieze, on floating calipers you can use a teflon grease, the floating calipers ear clips are SS and provide pretty decent smooth surface on their own.

Make sure to grease the shims though as they are the actual noise (squeal) dampeners on both kinds of calipers.

this is very elusive. castrol red rubber grease (europe) and silglyde (USA) are the same stuff. Tons cheaper too.

[effaf27]

Thanks alot sir i narrowed down my grease selection for shims to molykote as-880n or liquimoly brake paste which would you prefer also i have experimented with lm47 on the back of shims so far it works

True. I tried looking for caltex red rubber grease locally but couldnt find . Sourced myself a bottle of 3m silicone paste some molyslip copaslip antisieze but a few days back this caught my eye particularly cause silicone paste is imo to viscous for car window channels i have tried wd 40 and other silicone aprays but not much improvement so was thinking to give the toyota grease the last shot as currentely cant wait to get other options from abroad what do you think sir does going with toyota repackaged grease will it serve better as lube for window channels

[Xulfiqar]

I use a moly antisieze that holds 60% of moly solids, its black as death and it good for about 1500C too.

The rubber grease can be sourced from outside Pakistan easily. If you have relatives/freinds in USA ask them to buy a tube of NAPA silglyde - its about 8 dollars only and is a LOT of lube.

I personally use rubber grease for assembly only and use silicone grease for servicing the guidepins. etc. silicone grease is literally waterproof.

Its the same

[Xulfiqar]

yes, but LM47 grease only has 3.5% of it. the stuff that is recommended to be used on brake ears has more than 50%

This is what I use

It survives glowing red brakes on track too.

@Xulfiqar
Can this grease be used for bearing. Caltex Black Pearl Grease. It's polyurea based grease, with GC-LB certification?

Its great, but one very important point.

Before installing this grease anywhere - if that part is old and has old grease, you have to completely wash it out first, or pump this grease till all old grease is pumped out completely because this is polyurea thickener grease. Its not compatible with lithium soaps.

Its very good stuff - but just be careful when using it - and dont let anyone contaminate the grease charge with other lithium base greases - Very expensive repairs will result.
