Product Information
Full details
Liqui Moly Brake Pin Grease is a synthetic lubricant for automotive brake system assembly and maintenance, ideal for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts seeking smooth operation and reduced brake noise. While it offers excellent protection and performance, a caveat is that it should not come into contact with brake pads or discs. This grease ensures optimal brake function by maintaining free movement of brake pins, dampens vibrations to minimize noise, is compatible with rubber components, and provides robust protection against corrosion and environmental factors.

FAQs
How often should I apply Liqui Moly Brake Pin Grease?
It is recommended to apply this grease during routine brake maintenance, such as when replacing brake pads or rotors, or during a comprehensive brake inspection.
Can this grease be used on caliper bolts?
This grease is specifically designed for brake pins and sliding surfaces within floating caliper systems. For caliper bolts, a different type of lubricant might be recommended depending on the manufacturer's specifications.
What temperature range can this grease withstand?
Liqui Moly Brake Pin Grease offers corrosion protection and performance up to 250°C (482°F).
Is it safe to use if I accidentally get some on my brake pads?
No, contamination of brake pads or discs with grease can severely impair braking performance. If accidental contact occurs, the affected components must be thoroughly cleaned with brake cleaner or replaced.
Can I use this grease with ceramic brake pads?
Yes, the formulation is designed to be compatible with various brake system components, including different types of brake pads, as long as it does not come into direct contact with the friction surface of the pad or disc.
What is the shelf life of Liqui Moly Brake Pin Grease?
Stored properly in its original container in a cool, dry place, the grease typically maintains its effectiveness for several years. Refer to the product packaging for specific lot or expiry information if available.
Troubleshooting
Brake noise persists after application
Ensure the grease was applied correctly to the pins and sliding surfaces. Check if other brake components (e.g., anti-rattle clips, pads) require attention or if the noise originates elsewhere.
Sticking or seized brake pins
Re-clean the pins and bores thoroughly and re-apply a thin, even layer of grease. Ensure no debris or old grease remains. Check for physical damage to the pins or bores.
Rubber seals appear degraded
While the grease is compatible, inspect seals for pre-existing damage. If degradation is observed, the seals may need replacement. Ensure no incompatible substances contacted the rubber.
Grease contamination on brake pads or discs
Immediately clean affected brake pads and discs thoroughly with a dedicated brake cleaner. Re-apply grease carefully, ensuring no overspray or contact with friction surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures smooth and consistent braking performance.
- Significantly reduces or eliminates brake noise.
- Protects rubber components in the brake system.
- Provides excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental damage.
- High-temperature stability up to 250°C.
- Compatible with common brake fluid types in case of accidental contact.
Cons
- Must be kept away from brake pads and discs.
- Requires thorough cleaning of surfaces before application.
- Not suitable for extreme temperatures beyond its specified limit.
- Requires careful application to ensure a thin, even layer.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean Surfaces: Before application, thoroughly clean the brake pins and the corresponding bores in the caliper bracket using a suitable cleaner like LIQUI MOLY Rapid Cleaner.
- Dry Components: Ensure all cleaned parts are completely dry.
- Apply Grease: Using a brush, clean cloth, or sponge, apply a thin, uniform layer of Liqui Moly Brake Pin Grease to the brake pins and any sliding surfaces.
- Remove Excess: Wipe away any excess grease to prevent debris accumulation.
Compatibility:
- Rubber Components: The grease is safe for use with rubber sleeves, boots, and seals within the brake system.
- Brake Fluids: It is compatible with DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 4 LV/SL6, and DOT 5.1 brake fluids; minor contact is not expected to cause adverse effects.
- Brake Pads/Discs: Crucially, avoid contact with brake pads and discs, as this can compromise braking effectiveness.
Care:
- Store the grease in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Re-apply as part of regular brake maintenance, typically when replacing brake pads or performing a brake inspection.
