This. Whatever his "not a sponsor Napa" guy drops off. Stuff will works but you'll be buying everything if you are trying to keep up.
RMR is using Permatex Purple on slide pins. Makes me cringe but he haven’t had a comeback… yet.

First, you would only know if he shows it to you in his videos.
Second, what does he count as comeback? If the pins are stuck 6 months later? 12 months, 24 months? We’ll never know.

Most mechanics have different priorities and tools than an average DIYer. They can deal with rust, broken bolts, seized calipers, etc. a lot better than a shade tree and they charge extra for it.
Where for a DIYer it costs you many extras. Extra money for parts, extra time, extra tools, vehicle being out of commission for longer etc.

Following whatever YouTube mechanics are doing to the letter is not wise. Their incentive is short term comebacks, long term they can blame many things and make extra money if things break or take extra time.
