Quoted from Pafasa:breaking rust is what it was designed for
I though it was for these two>> Interesting Uses for WD-40. 
Two of the craziest purposes for WD-40 include a bus driver in Asia who used WD-40 to remove a python snake which had coiled itself around the undercarriage of his bus, and police officers who used WD-40 to remove a naked burglar trapped in an air conditioning vent. 
Quoted from o-din:I have actually used that white grease as little as possible since a break job I did with it came back to bite me in the ass back in the 80s.
That ^^and the red tacky brake pad aerosol that they recommended back then. 
Sil-glyde / high temp silicone grease has been pretty decent.
Quoted from o-din:Oh, that crap leaves a mess.
Lucky the pads they make today have that noise isolating material ,probably not needed >but i still put a thin smear of sil-glyde at the contact points and caliper pins. A little anti-seize on the pins threads too.
Quoted from o-din:When it dries up it turns to metal like dust!
It does^^ but it keeps the corrosion down a bit. Road Salt in the winter corrodes the snot out of them.That and the brake/fuel lines take a beating too.
