How To: Apply Brake Lube | PowerStop

When installing brakes, it is important to pay attention to where you place lubricant. Lube ensures noise-free braking and proper system operation.

Lubricate all moving and sliding components to ensure noise-free and smooth braking system operation.

You want to apply the minimum lubricant because a thin layer is all you needed. Apply lubricant on caliper pins, clips, edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and back side of the brake pads if needed.

*Do not apply lube on the friction side of the brake pads.

Everything I was looking for was in this video. To top it off the video is less than a minute. Thanks

Wife's new brakes were squeaking after I had put them on a few weeks ago. Tried this. Works perfectly with no noise at all. Wife happy.

Awesome video! No bullcrap, just what was needed.

A lot of mechanics are adding some sort of lubricant under the abutment clips. Is there any benefit?

[Juss-Saiyan]

Straight to the point I can't love it any more than that

[pressron]

[RichaRat]

That's all I needed to know. Thanks!😀

How often should brakes be lubricated?

[garyfaudere]

I purchased the Z36 pads with drilled and slotted rotors for the front. I lubricated everything as mentioned in the video and my Z36 carbon ceramic pads squeak horrible. I broke them in as per the instructions on the box and it is really embarrassing to have squealing/squeaking brakes on a newer Sierra Denali. I'm going to trash the Powerstop's and switch back to OEM ACDelco.

LIQUI MOLY Synthetic Lubricant for Brake Pins 5 g (21119) Is this product suitable for brake calipers? I would be happy to help

[Boofatcha]

Thank you for the video, the little diagram on your lubricant packet was quite confusing.

[BrettHoustonTube]

Do you need to install abutment clips? I left mine off because they were too tight. Now I'm dealing with sticking pads...
Is that a culprit?

[habebs]

Can I use brake lubricant that is used on pads tab on the calliper pins or do recommend brake grease

[Dnasty]

There's so much conflicting info on this brake paste i miss the days when nobody ever used paste ( this was before my time but my dad always mentions it lol). I'm having a stickign issue with some pads and I thin it may be because of the lubricant I am using.. this purple cermaic brake paste which almost seems like glue was applied to the back of my pads. Should I just put these things in dry? With only slight amount on the ears? Is it even necessary to lube the piston like i see in so many vids?

Is there a vid for parking brake shoes?

[FlippinMatt]

Am I the only one who has never put lube on their brakes?
