Title: brakes - forget copper grease, and use this instead
Post by: Teutonic_Tamer on 02 March 2009, 16:06

Most copper based greases are pants, and arn't really suitable for use as an anti-seize lubricant on brakes.  You really need a lead-free nickel based grease.

I personally use, and highly recommend "Bostick Never-Seez - Pure Nickel Special".  It ain't cheap, but it really is miles better than any copper grease.  I get mine from Cromwell Industrial Supplies - look at www.Cromwell.co.uk to find your local branch.  You can also download the lubricants section of their catalogue here: http://www.cromwell.co.uk/images/publication/pdf/cat2009/07.pdf, and find it on page 1270.
