Brake caliper wedge lubrication

Post by dantye »

Has anyone had success with some type of Teflon grease or dry lube for the brake wedges?
The very thick Permatex brake grease I used when I cleaned the brakes 18 mo. ago seems to just collect dirt and lock them up.
Or maybe some other favored product for this application?
Thanks.

Thanks, Mark.
Does anyone know any source where I can buy less than a quart of this? That is the smallest qty. I find so far.

Here is what I found: http://www.powderbuythepound.com/CERMALUBE_-1_QUART/

This product has instructions that say put it in an oven at 450degrees to set, so do you just put it on the wedges, on the caliper surfaces also, or are you referring to another product? If so, could you post a link? :?

Thanks!

Bendix makes it in small containers now. Here is the link to the Bendix catalog. This is the best stuff available and it can be used on anything besides brakes for a lubricant

Thanks - I think I found that Bendix product for sale on Amazon, and Permatex appears to have a ceramic version available there also.
