Default Nice Brake Grease !

Thanks
Mine: Akebono Sport Brakes (4 Piston)

Yes there is a difference. My Nissan caliper kit came with 1 Pink and 4 orange packets of grease. I assume the Pink is the rubber grease for the seals and boots. What the heck is the Orange grease for?

Instructions say: "When the slide pin is placed in the cylinder (I think they mean caliper) apply some Orange colored grease on a surface of the slide pin itself".

What they mean? Boot retaining ring?

Update: Nope, that ain't what they mean. Buttheads gave instructions for 2 piston brakes which do have a "sliding pin" bolt. Confusing as hell.

Here's another treat from Nissan: They did not include the small round seal that seals the 2 caliper halves together (where the Hyd. fluid passes from one side to the other). Yes I split my calipers to make it easier to service. Nissan does not sell this small seal. Does anyone know where these can be purchased?

Thanks for any info
