I'm putting together the rear axle and brakes, after replacing the rear wheel bearings (and having to buy new rake backplates, new cylinders, new brake pipes, and I thought I might as well get new flexi hoses, and I'll need a new handbrake cable too after failing to get one side out of the backplate in one piece). So my question is what grease do I use on what bits, to avoid the nightmare of rustiness that I have battled through (and am still battling through - have yet to remove the pipes and flexi hoses). The bearings and CV joints are easy enough, done them. It's the bolts and pipe unions, and brake innards I am curious about.
So:-
1. Between brake pipe and brake union
2. On union threads
3. On bleed valve threads
4. On back plate bolt threads (grease or loctite)
5. Under backplate bolt heads
6. On hub carrier bolt threads (grease or loctite)
7. Under hub carrier bolt heads
8. On joints/pivots inside the brakes


I have multipurpose grease, CV joint grease, and copper slip grease. Do I need anything else? Have I missed anything?

Many thanks in advance.

I used copper slip on my brake union threads and multipurpose grease on most other things except the bits where the shoes rub inside on which I used special HT brake grease. After assembly I brushed clear waxoyl on the brake pipes and unions/clips etc.

Hopefully not on the shoes themselves though

Many thanks. Will follow your advice.
