Glad you were successful and thanks for the link. Anti-seize has it uses but brake components is not one of them. I spent too many years working on race cars and we always used lock tight on caliber mounting bolts. Probably over kill because we went over the car every week, especially brake and steering components. That said, I do use brake grease on the pins (bolts on GM), not on threads, and on the calipers where the pads slide.

Honestly, Free Republic is not where I would go to for expert advice on automotive repairs, just sayin’.

You’re right. Last brake job did with the full manual, was over a year ago, and not good to give advice on that basis, and on a different make vehicle. Got a NASCAR certified young fellow nearby I run things by. He was on crews from some big name drivers with Hendrick i’m thinking.

Probably old , but he told me they glued lug nuts in place on the wheels for pit change— no hand nut starting or messing with them. Can’t remember what glue.
