I make this DIY in two sections. I made it step by step, and there are a lot of pictures. (Go to “DIY:Brake Job – Rear –“)
* About Brake Grease: I bought the CRC’s regular brake grease, and found it gets dried over time and seize the caliper pin. Was recommended to try the one without carbon, Verachem Synthetic Caliper Grease, so I’m giving it a try.
