To lube or not during brake replacement

[Exp21]

Hi everyone I'm about to replace rear rotors and brake pads on my w204. In WIS I read not to lube with any kind of paste the brake pads, but I ask you to be sure (I see people doing different things): is it possible that everything has to be dry? In the ATE instructions of the pads I bought, it's illustrated to lube with ATE plastilube the caliper bracket seat for the pads.
Any advice is well accepted. Thank you for help

I always use a little lube on the pad seat area. Sparingly though. Don’t put anything between the disc and the hub. Clean the hub thoroughly too

Great. Thank you very much

I don’t recommend going in dry, a little lube stops the squealing…

Depends, sometimes the squealing like a pig gives some male gratification.

Hi, is it normal that the new spring is so far from the brake pad? Is it mounted correctly? Thank you

 

[Uncle Benz]

That’s fine. It isn’t supposed to touch the pad.
