Could someone tell me if this is Ok to use on the 'holder shaft bolts' on the calipers?
manual says PBC grease? is this the same or equivalent? just looking for opinions for a cheap guy :pinch:
sorry this should be under "chassie" but i dont know how to move it???

That is lithium grease so I would not use it on the caliper shafts. You should use PBC grease, but if you find it to be too expensive or hard to find you might want to consider using the silicone grease used on the shafts of automobile disk calipers. That should be easy to find at any auto parts place and pretty cheap. Be sure to clean ALL the old grease off first. Ed

Permatex ultra disk brake lubricant in the small packets. It doesn't take much, so a pkg of 2 will last quite a while.
