Assembly paste and brake cleaner: Little helpers for maximum braking performance
Any brake is only as good as its assembly. That is why brake cleaner and assembly paste definitely have to figure in every brake service.
The importance of assembly paste is often underestimated. Assembly pastes are, in fact, functional high-performance lubricants! They ensure low-friction movement, facilitate subsequent disassembly and extend the service life of components. Their use is especially essential when it comes to guide bolts, contact points and carrier sheets. In this respect HELLA offers practical solutions, which are easy to handle, which do not lead to glazing, and which function reliably even at high temperatures. Long story short: A small effort that makes a big difference.
How assembly paste ensures silent performance
A professionally applied assembly paste prevents moving parts from seizing up, protects against corrosion and ensures a quiet, even braking effect. The right paste can effectively prevent brake noise, especially at contact points between the carrier plate and brake calliper. HELLA assembly pastes are temperature-resistant, metal-free and specially adapted to suit the requirements of modern braking systems. For customers, this means no annoying, squeaky noises – and a positive all-round driving experience.
Application with a system
In order to ensure that the brake system continues to function safely in the long term, it must be serviced regularly, and all relevant mechanical parts must be greased with a temperature-resistant and metal-free permanent lubricant. It is essential to check beforehand the suitability of the lubricant.
And its correct use is also crucial if the desired effect is to be achieved: The paste is only applied thinly – aimed specifically at sliding surfaces and contact points. It has no business on friction surfaces. This clear separation of areas is crucial for safety and performance.
