Brake servicing FAQ page update...

I only apply it to the threaded section of the bolt and even then it
is just a thin layer, besides even if they rot, they cost so little
and are easy to replace. I will keep in in mind.

Thanks,
Nick

Where do you find replacements?

From your local Honda/Acura dealer.

the anti sieze that you were putting on was it High Temperature Nickel
Anti-Seize Lubricant? As a technician i have been servicing rear shoes
and using that for the front pads and have never glazing like that from
using high temperature nickel based lubricant

It was copper based and aluminum based.

I'm not sure it was the anti-seize that caused my glaze; that's just my
hunch right now.

My container of Permatex 133H says it's good to 1,600F. And it does stay
put very well. Problem is that it's the lighter fractions of the carrier
that migrate over time, not the aluminum itself.
