[TR] anti squeal shims: now grease vs. anti-seize

[TERRY SMITH]

Actually, this raises an interesting question.  When restoring something like the long forward bolt that clamps the leaf spring to the frame, everyone who's done such faces the herculean task of dislodging this, especially when (OMG, can't fathom the thought) attempting it without having the body off the frame.

When re-assembling such,  including the similar caliper bolts that don't get removed for extended periods, I've preferred Anti-Seize to any kind of grease.  I've found the latter to be a magnet for dirt and debris that over a long (okay, long-long-long) time, dry up faster than anti-seize.

Wonder about others' thoughts.
