The Haynes manual says I need red grease and orange grease for the fronts, and a walkthrough somebody on here posted for the rear brakes says red, orange and white grease.

I'm assuming the white grease is just white lithium grease... What the hell are the red and orange greases? I went to both of my local autoparts stores, which are regretably staffed by ******* morons, and they don't know what I'm talking about.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

The red/orange grease *should* have been included with a rebuilt kit.

 

But it wasn't, hence my problems.

 

I've rebuilt 3 sets of calipers and never used any grease. I just put some clean brakefluid on the seals during assembley.

 

I believe that all brake caliper grease is now a higher standard and therefore acceptable for all caliper purposes now.

 

Oh... Cool beans. Thanks aussie.

 

I think the red grease is a type that does not break down when exposed to brake fluid. I got two types (red, orange and clear, white) with my rear e-brake boot kit from Black Dragon. I assumed that the clear, white is for the tubes that slide the two pcs of the caliper together.
