    Ive read a lot online about this an wanted to get opinions on this topic from the prius masters here on prius chat. Can i use FOTU silicone grease on the contact point where my rotors touches my wheel hub? i am replacing my rotors and i will be buying brake parts cleaner to clean the rotor surface an i bought the silicone paste on amazon but was wondering if i need to buy copper anti seize or can i just use the paste? My rotor is making a squeking noise and the tire guy told me its time to resurface or replace them but i thought i would just replace them since i got the money and want to prolong my prius life. thanks in advance.

    You won't need any pastes. You'll notice where the rotor hat drops onto the hub assembly over the wheel studs there's really no place to put paste or any lubrication for that matter The hub hat or the rotor hat the top of the hat rests on the face of the hub and that's it once the wheel nuts are tighten down that's it and sandwiched and can't go anywhere do anything but turn forward backward
