Did a search and did not find anything. Looking for a good brake grease, which apparently is also called "caliper slide lube". Just replaced the pads and 1 rotor on my XJ this afternoon and am really fed up with the inability of the calipers to slide because the grease dries up. Tried synthetic caliper lube at about $7.00 for a little tube, (what a ripoff!), and also tried lithum general purpose grease. Just a few days ago when I had to slap in some used pads to get me by until my new NAPA severe duty pads came in, I put some Lucas Red & Tacky grease in the boots. Today, 4 days later, they would not slide at all. The bushings were stuck in the boots. Anyone have any good suggestions? As this is about the 13th set of pads I have installed on my Jeep, I have plenty of experience installing brake pads, but I have never found a lube that will keep the bushings from getting stuck in the boots.
