Mkl22 Twincharged December 30, 2014 Share December 30, 2014 Got mine from autobacs a couple of years back. Why do you need brake cleaner? I used it when I DIY installed a set of new disc and pads. The disc was coated with a layer of oil to prevent rust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wanting to get some stuff to Lub my rotor or pads 😔😔😔 For squeals, you need brake grease on the back of the pads and on the spring clips. Also bevel the edge of the pads might help. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far a few shops I ask say it's like tat, meaning they don't want to do or don't know how to do. 😔 most workshop can do it. just ask them to service your brake. problem is, not many workshop keep copper grease. its not cheap, i buy a small tube for usd9+ frm amazon. most workshop only apply general purpose lithium grease which will dry up very fast due go the heat generated frm braking. I got mine from Stamford Tyres lok yang. bro, may i ask how much u pay for it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
