    Rear brakes have started squeaking @ 20k miles

    yep, I got it off eBay for $3.67 shipped to USA from UK, but was only going to use it on the brake pad/piston interface and pad ears like he did. But going to stick with the Sil-glyde for the pins. In his how-to, Anchorman mentioned we wasn't aware of Sil-glyde and was going to do more...

    Rear brakes have started squeaking @ 20k miles

    not too sure about the Mintex Ceratec lubricant, is this silicon based ? I think it's only available in UK, don't see any dealers in USA has that been proven not to swell up the rubber boot ? the right thing to use is silicon based like Sil-Glyde that has been proven to be compatible with...

    Lube those caliper bolt pins!

    no dealers don't usually check the caliper bolt pins, you have to take off the calipers to inspect the pins... the pins allow the brake caliper to slide smoothly , see video, for the pins you're suppose to use high temp silicone base lubricant like Sil-glyde so it doesn't swell up the...

    Lube those caliper bolt pins!

    IMHO, not overthinking this, I can confirm CRC 5351 does swell up the rubber boot on some mfg or if you don't fully clean out the old OEM silicone grease if the CRC grease mixes with the silicone grease that came with the car the rubber boot swells up and hangs up the calipers and you get...

    Bought 2017 CX-5 Touring AWD! $1000 off MSRP. Dealers selling for above sticker?

    Congrats to all those getting 2017s, just a suggestion, salesman probably will just offer the standard Mazda loyalty and military discounts....but probably will have more wiggle room on accessories, I know mine did, he basically said I could have anything I wanted as long as it didn't have...

    This is what loyalty gets you

    cool, that would be a great viable option, wonder if any 2016 CX-9 has done this yet, or just wait it out until the new connector becomes more mainstream

    Brake caliper clean up.

    thanks Anchorman ! for the tip on the Mintex Cera Tec, looks like good stuff can handle up to 1000C with no problems , I think much better than copper grease, I can confirm your statement that those metallic greases do eventually clump up and turn to clay after a while.... I'll use the...

    New 2017 CX-5 Revealed

    good video comparing all four competitors..... IMHO CX-5 has the best exterior (red color is damn sexy on the CX-5), CR-V has the best speedometer dash layout and interior, and Toyota is the ugliest, advantages for Nissan Rogue is 360 degree all-around bird's eye view and 7 seater option but...
