Question to those who replaced their brake pads.
The Subaru manual recommends applying Molykote grease to the inner shim and pad clip. What's a good alternative to this grease, just in case Lithia doesn't have them in stock? Can I use any brake grease, like this one - http://www.autobarn.net/squeakrelcal.html |

I picked up some high temp anti-seize lube from Napa that seems to work fine on my brakes. The copper or silver stuff seems to do a good job.

The one you linked to would be fine, but any parts store will have something similar that will work fine. Most pads usually come with a small tube as well, but I don't know about those Hawks you got.

Thanks, guys for all the input.
I don't think the Hawk pads came with the grease, so I'll be checking the parts store for some. |

Another question.
Is it recommended to bleed the brakes after installing the pads? |
