CJ8 Spring Replacement Success!!
As usual, you were correct -- which leads to another question.
When I pulled them the slide bolts were all gummed up with "lubricant". No way they would work. And I have nobody but myself to dump on; because I was the one who replaced the original pads. So I've now cleaned them up and cleaned up the bores that they ride within. All looks good to me. Then the question -- what, if any, lubricant should I use when I put the slide bolts back? The same high-temp brake lube that I use on track that the caliper's slide on?? Nothing??? Something else???? CJ brakes are repaired and springs are on!! Some of you on the list have been a GREAT help, and I appreciate it. I know this cj doesn't compare to some of yours -- but here are a few pics to document the completion of this latest Jeep project: http://cj8.sciencediver.com/springs/index.html Thanks .....

Re: CJ abnormal brake pad wear
Yes, hitemp anti-seize works the best, use it on many things like manifold
bolts they always come out. -- HarryS JAFGBR JAFTJO "Mike Romain" <romainm@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:40E96F28.E8C5213F@sympatico.ca... > I prefer that anti seize compound on them but high temp grease is ok. > Just don't use too much.
