    I see a copper looking color on the bolts. What are you coating those bolts thread with? Also, the brake pads look like they have some anti-squeal paste on the ends, what are you using? Do any of the bolts need thread locker?

      Hello! We used copper grease https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lnk-28689194 and anti-squeak https://www.autodoc.co.uk/lnk-20939798 grease. The repair handbook for the vehicle you own will have more detailed information regarding the necessity of using thread locker.
