mkoch Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I am replacing the front pads and rotors on my 1984 GL 4WD wagon. I am following the instructions in How To Keep Your 72 thru 84 Subaru Alive, by Larry Owens. The instructions call for "PBC" grease to lubricate the pad springs, and "Silicone" grease to lubricate the pivot pin. I could not find these products at my local auto parts store. I have Master Pro Hi-Temp Disc Brake Wheel Bearing grease, NLGI No. 2 and Multi Purpose Lithium Grease Are these sorts of grease an acceptable substitute for the PBC and Silicone grease? mkoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxleone Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 When you say PBC you're not mistaking it for this are you? Silicon grease would just be the dry silicon spray? I'm not sure bro, still have much to learn about brakes. Hopefully GD or one of the other guys can set you straight. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoch Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 rxleone, the book does say "PBC" [sic]. . Thanks for the reply! mkoch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 the pbc stuff would be the little 99 c packs of brake quiet anti squeal stuff. the silicone can be found in the same 99 c packs, or if you go to napa, look for 'syl-glide' brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
