So I need to rebuild my Akebono's from powdercoating and I bought the rebuild kit from Z1, it did not come with the grease/oil from the OEM set. So I was wondering do I need to grease the pistons and seals? and with what kind of grease?

 

DO NOT USE GREASE.

Brake fluid only.

 

Brake fluid is not exactly safe to play around with. use red rubber grease. completely safe and no need to wear gloves with it. It's created specifically for brake piston, seals and boots. IMO better than brake fluid for the safety and ease of use. More popular and available in Europe than the US. But you can find it on ebay and maybe even amazon.
