Hi there,
I know that removing the shims is a popular habbit around here, I also had them removed, we all know the reasons why.
But just watched a 30+ min vid on a mechanic's youtube channel in which he insisted that the shims if installed properly on nice an clean carriers, with grease used on all contact points is a very good habbit for preventing seized pads and other related issues.
So, where's the truth actually? everything he said seems legit
Here's the vid:
What are the chanches that a small amount of grease used for prevention could end up on the pads and discs though?
The GF had the pads changed on her Auris couple of months ago and the old ones were worn out un-evenly quite bad, so maybe the habbit of using the shims and the grease is not that bad after all?
