Disc brake caliper grease

Ok. My mechanic called his expert and this is clay based synthetic with no lithium and approved for our brake calipers. He used it so time will tell

The bleed process to remove excess grease is CRITICAL.  If not done, the brakes WILL not retract properly and you will likely burn them up.

VERIFY.

Yes. Thanks. I handed him the procedure for bleeding the grease out and he did it.
