Antisieze and caliper grease

[doitmyself]

Consensus? Here?? Surely you jest.

I have zero experience with Molykote 77 on slide pins protected by rubber boots.

My consensus is that Molykote is a high solids (60%?) paste. The CRC black grease is well below 5% solids and contains more lube oils. It's my opinion that the high solids paste is for use on weather exposed metal to metal contact points. I use regular brake grease on the non exposed pins that have rubber boots.

That's my take, and I am "sticking" (pun there) with it.

Ya, I guess asking about a consensus here is a slippery slope...

Doesn't look like the Molykote 77 is available to the public at the Honda dealers here anyway. More wanted to try it for the clips though but guess I'll keep looking.

I use: NAPA Sil-Glyde Silicone Lubricating on the brake sliding pin, bulb socket, spark plug wire boots.

Get the proper 3m silicone grease for brake pins. Even silglyde has other solids in it. I'd go with the 3m myself.
