Shim Kit Grease Location with OEM Front Brake Pad Replacement

Should I apply the grease on the inside (between the shim and pad), on the outside between the shim and pistons, or both?

 

I’d check the FSM.

probably doesn’t hurt do put a thin film on both and not so much that the plate keeps falling off.

I have my own grease. I believe permatex purple ceramic that I put on stuff like that like the back of pads and ears to help things move freely and not have any separate pieces dry, rattling, and making noise.

 

yall don't just use silver anti seize? heck been using that for years to "stick" my backers on the pads.
