Aaaggh!!!! SILICON Grease thats whats been confusing me !!! I had a quick look around here by the time a got out it had transformed to Lithium (melting point about 100deg)

Anyway I digress.

RRG Is difficult to get hold of if your 200 miles from home in digs and no ebay account, your van is stuck outside London's emission zone and you have no transport because your digs are inside emission zone next to the job.

Now back to my original question I'm cleaning out the gunk from my backplate slider pins and the grease is black it is exactly the same feel as I used to use to pack CV joints high melting Lithium-Moly. This stuff does not react with the CV boot and lets face it it would show up quickly of it did.

My rational is as follows:-
A grease that doesn't react with 'rubber'
A grease that is not going to melt and seep through to the disk
Very easily to get hold off and can be used for other purposes.
As I'm not assembling components which might come in contact with brake fluid.

So can anyone thing of a good reason why it can't be used?
