rebuilding rear brake calipers
For anyone who has ever rebuilt rear brake calipers. The Kits I have come with 2 packs of grease one orange and one red?
What is each for, I have read the FSM and it doesn't specify. If it helps the orange is about a tea spoon, the red about half that. Thank you |
some one has to know the awnser to this. I got the rebuild kits from mazdatrix and they didn't even know.

I rebuilt my calipers all around at once but I don't seem to remember the different color grease. I believe it is for the rubber seal to set in the race, which one to use I wouldn't know (or remember).

Have no idea,, got my kits from napa,,there was no grease in mine,,u just need some thing to protect the o-ring/seal when u put them together I used Vaseline same thing witch is used to protect lip seal when rebuilding automatic transmissions,,only thing i can think of is maybe one is grease and one is a sealer for the out side dust boot(2 help hold the boot in the caliper)!!

Just a FYI in case someone else needs this info Grease colours Orange Grease: Bearings, adjusting bolt, strut and piston boot Pink Grease:Piston seal |
