I use the same silicone base brake lub that I use on my car. Autozone, etc. carries it.Not mentioned in the destructions as far as I can see, anyone put lube on the brake calliper guide pins, and if so, what did you use??
Brake Caliper Lube from auto parts store
I put it on the guide pins and between the puke and pad plate.
Works good.
What does it do? Prevent anything?
I use the dry graphite rattle can spray on them. It drys and doesn't pick up dirt.
Lube wasn't called out in the KAI or MATCO documents so I have never used it. After 5 years and 550 hours everything seems OK.
Interesting, I've not heard of that before.
Another aviation related 'google shopping' search is in order for tonight I think
Thanks.
I'm replacing the stainless screws on mine with cad plated steel. The stainless screw heads are like butter and I got tired of them getting chewed up. I use either a little dab of Boelube (stick, not paste which gets messy at anything above room temperature) or beeswax on the threads... not much, just a bit.I used Permatex 80078 Aluminum Anti-Seize (which contains graphite) on some of my 6/32 and 8/32 stainless steel fasteners on my inspection covers to prevent galling.
