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.

That particular brand isn't existant at mt location, and the labels have next to no information.

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.

The one that I use from Canadian tire is the black and green coloured tube in the above picture.

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