Just checked the manual, no reference of any sort of grease is made. Says soak the parts in DOT3 brake fluid and air dry before installing.

Rep Power: 454 well on page 19-24 of the manaul it says to use cemedine 366E sealant or equivalent between the wheel cylinder and backing plate. I just want to know whats equivalant to that.

Rep Power: 329 are asking about between the surface between the BACK of the W/C and the backing plate? If so some cars use a sealant similar to silicone, not sure why but ive seen it many times. Not like dirt/contamination wont enter from between the drum and backing plate

Rep Power: 329 I've never used any at that location ever. And i cant imagine why it would be needed in the first place. I imagine if there was huge gaping holes around the w/c then yes it may not be a bad idea. But i dont believe that is the case
