Yes I understand that, I do not think it's petroleum based it's synthetic stuff if it's made for CVs i doubt it'll eat the boot since CVs are basicly a giant boot covered grease filled joint.

The EP Lucas grease you bought is petroleum based, non synthetic wheel bearing grease. It's not a brake lubricant. Trust me on this, go buy the right stuff.

It's carried at canadian tire. Comes in a tube. You should find it in the automotive department where all the other gasket/RTV type stuff is

Thats where I got the other stuff, I spent about 5 minutes there looking through it all. It's possible I missed it, but who knows.

On there site this and dielectric grease is what I could find.

Permatex Ultra Slick Multi-Purpose Synthetic Grease, 85 g | Canadian Tire

It's a multi purpose grease, not sure if thats good enough. I'll probably go back on Thursday or so, but it was a rough isle to look through. They arn't exactly the most organized people around. My biggest concern is the temperature, I am not entirely sure what kind of temperatures I am dealing with when it comes to brake parts. The permatex site says the multi purpose grease "grease withstands temperatures from -45F to 350F (-42C to 177C), 450F (232C) intermittent"

That's not it. I've attached a pic of the product I use. It's available at any auto parts store, but maybe not CT. Notice the temp range. Whatever you get, make sure to get a specific brake lube.

They didn't have the ceramic compound stuff, but this was as close as I could get.
