Quick Question re copper greae.

[Justin Cyder]

I changed the rear pads on my Mini today. Straight forward enough job, however, I did smear a very small dab of copper grease on one pad I.e. on the friction surface by accident. No more than a couple of seconds & I got rid but I read on the internetz that it could be a problem.

Obviously I've had a post job test drive & the brakes are ok, not great as you'd expect on new pads, but should I be concerned? No big deal if they have to come out but I'd like to know.




Arggh! Thread title typo. Sorry.

A tiny smidge isn't really a concern to be honest. Brake cleaner is pretty good at removing all traces.

[Justin Cyder]

Great & yeah, Brake cleaner was liberally applied.

No problem at all, it will be burned off in no time.

And so it has. I realise I'm over egging it a bit, but I'm always happy to harness the amazing knowledge base this place is.
