Randall's advice as always, is excellent. However, I'd just add that IMHO *a touch* of grease should
ideally read *a touch of high melting point grease* might be better? We don't know what ambient
conditions this car operates in and HMP is the only grease I've ever used in my brakes in chilly old
UK. Don;t like to think of any kind of lubricant getting out of control in the "stop" department of
my car :)
