From what I know, you're never supposed to grease the wheel hub underneath the brake disc. Reason being is when you attach the wheels and screw on the lug nuts, it's the pressure from those lug nuts that cause the rotor to stop spinning in place due to friction. Greasing up the wheel hub removes that friction and at that point the only thing that stops the disc from spinning are those small torx bolts (which are only designed to keep it aligned). If you dont want a second broken torx bolt, dont grease the hub in the future
Hi I think you’re getting mixed up with the different forces within the braking system.Friction happens when the pad touches the braking surface turning kinetic energy into heat energy(Friction).that car lives in a rust belt so a small amount of grease was applied to help the next guy I.e probably me.gripping force at the wheel studs is massive you’ll be fine with a small bit of grease
Yes indeed you can do it that way if you want to.whatever is easiest for you but I didn’t this time but I did state not to pull the brake hose and make sure it’s straight no kinks 👍

The hub must not be lubricated. The disc works on friction.

@@fixstuff5798 The grease causes a shear force to act on the bolts instead of friction.
you must hang the pad block on the suspension springs for exemple, if it ever falls it can damage the brake fluid hose and this makes work easier too
