Brake Caliper Slide Pin Grease

Video Description

How to lubricate your brake caliper slide pins using silicone grease. In this video I’m working with a 1999 to 2005 Toyota Yaris. It is possible to lubricate the slide pins while the caliper bracket is still on the vehicle but I removed it so I could demonstrate the lubrication process more clearly. If you can get it, I would highly recommend using the brake grease used in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWFczu03rpA It is important to lubricate your brake caliper slide pins as failure to do so may cause them to stick or even completely seize up which could cause uneven wear of your brake pads. The car may appear to drive normally, but the pads will only be pushed onto the disc from the piston side. This will give reduced braking ability on one wheel, and wear out the pad on the piston side much faster. The pads could also stay stuck against the rotor which will build up heat in the brakes and wear your pads down even quicker. PLEASE NOTE: While the focus of this video is on the brake caliper slide pins, I would highly recommend that you use a threadlocker on all the bolts when refitting the carrier bracket and caliper and then tighten them to the correct torque, as specified by your vehicles manufacturer, as is demonstrated in this video: https://youtu.be/e7nH8XbiEDw?t=679. On this 2000 Toyota Yaris the torque settings are 88 Nm (65 foot pounds) for the Bracket bolts and 34 Nm (25 foot pounds) for the caliper bolts. Thanks for watching.
