Put no grease /anywhere/ on the pads or mount bracket except on the pad
backing shims (and even that is optional).

If you do put some on the shims, put a dab of Sil-Glyde on the pad side of
each backing shim. The dab should be 1/4" diameter for the fronts, and
1'8" dia for the rear discs (if so equipped). The thickness of the dab
should be /no more/ than the thickness of a business card. The stuff will
spread like crazy once squeezed by the caliper.

You need Sil-Glyde for the pins and their boots.

What is the best way to do the brakes on 97 crv? I have the book, but my real question is about the brease. Do I put it on the shims? all sides? I know to put them on caliper pins. On the caliper anywhere? I have all honda parts from majestic.
