To add to this, copperslip is an anti seize compound, its NOT a lubricant, good old LM grease is good enough for slide pins if nothing better is available. _________________

Just done mine today, front and rear and i can deffo confirm that the copperslip is a big no no. Used Molykote silicone grease (we use it on stainless nuts and bolts to stop galling)...Sweet as a nut now, thanks for the heads up on this cos i would have used copperslip as that what we always used in the garage in the 80s-90s.

Copperslip is evil!!! When used on sliders it seizes them up and it rots the rubber boots allowing water, mud and other crud to attack sliders too. I still use it on the backs of pads to stop squeel but make sure it won't get on any rubber parts. When i bought my Delica the sliders had been slipped and were seized both sides |

Copper slip has never been billed as a grease/lubricant so i really don't know why people use it for such purposes???
I started to use Mintex Ceratech brake grease, ittsl ike LM but much thicker and can take higher temperatures i expect, either way i had nothing but good results with it :D _________________

I just got a set of EBC pads and was impressed to see they contained the required brake grease. I was disappointed when I opened it to find it was more like copper slip. Decided against its use |

It should be fine if only used for greasing the lugs on the pads and the corresponding rebates in the calipers. _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |
