I am gonna do my brake job pretty soon, just would like to know whether I need to apply grease on the outside of the shim which is touching the piston.

I know the grease has to be between the inner side of shim and back side of the pad (Like a sandwich).

The question is, what about the outside of the front shim (which touches the two pistons for Brembo Front) and outside of rear shims (one touches the piston, the other one touches the caliper metal)

Thanks a lot guys.

 

yes use grease on the pad and on the shims also.

 

^on the pad itself!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!
lol, you wont be able to stop.


Grease the back side of the pad and all the shims. and any moving parts, SAVE the pad material.

 

^^^lol Justin , I am not working at Autozone . When I say pads meaning back of the pad where it made contact with piston not on the pad, because I am assuming that everyone should aware of this just like you undo a bolt by turning counter clock wise (well there is a few bolt with exception haha).

 

lmao!
just helping by clarifying!! lololol
