SERVICE INFORMATION

Silicone grease (P/N 99990-00974) and PBC grease (P/N 99990-00939) are available and recommended for use on Nissan brake components.

NOTE:
^ Silicone grease may be applied to all brake grease points on disc and drum brakes. Silicone grease is very effective at the contact point between brake shoes and brake backing plate, to reduce squeaking.

^ PBC grease may be applied to pad shim-to-pad contact surfaces on disc brakes. PBC grease in these areas can help reduce brake squeal.

^ DO NOT use Silicone or PBC greases where rubber greases are specified.

^ Use all safety precautions when using these products. Read the labels thoroughly before using.
