Looking through the “Best Practices” thread and the factory service manual. Since I’m doing a brake bleed in a few days (actually just as soon as my Mitutoyo “mic” shows up) figured I might as well “inspect” my brakes while I’m at it*. The service manual notes Honda silicone grease (P/N 08C30-B0234M) to be applied to the caliper pin and caliper pin boots. Is this just high temp silicone grease? On the boots—am I to just put a little lube on each end to seal it?
The service manual notes M77 / Molykote be applied to the back of the pads and the shims. Any substitutes for this $17.20 high-molybdenum-content wonder? I’ve read opinions here that regular DiscQuiet is a better choice. Dunno.
* Figured while I’m in there might as well check rotor run-out and parallelism. I neither feel nor hear any problems with the brakes/rotors, but thought it would be good practice. Plus, if I do have a problem in the future I’ll have a good baseline to judge from.
