[quote=”13aceofspades13″ post=98050]that is very true there are many opinions we all have but we can all learn from one another.
for example on Erics break job video on the subaru when he replaces the calipers, he says antiseeze does not belong on any of the bolts holding on the mounting brackets but too use oil instead, i like using antiseeze on bolts and the anti vibration clips as well and i was even taught buy my instructor in school who was a Master Mechanic and worked for a chrysler dealership, and my grandfather who was a matenence worker in the Oldsmobile plant in lansing that Antiseeze on bolts is a very good idea, makes work for the next guy easier, and putting it on things like anti vibration clips helps prevent stuck pads.
thats just a example and i will say this, Eric Obviously knows what he is doing, and if thats how he has always done breaks and it works for him thats good and i won’t argue with him, i have never had issues with my break jobs either, sometimes its just what you are comfortable with, and yes a lot of times working on cars has a lot of opinions.
And eric is right, you have too be careful with the Antiseeze compound, if you get any on the pads you could have squeaky brakes, and that is not what a customer wants, and that’s not what you want on your car.[/quote]
I get your point, but actually, I do use anti seize on some caliper bolts. Not the ones that hold the caliper to the hub, but the ones that hold the caliper to the bracket. I do it for the same reasons you mentioned, to make it easier to get off next time. I try to be conservative in my application however because too much of that stuff can get you into trouble. For some reason just a small amount of that stuff can get just about everywhere.
Thanks for your input.
