There are "anti-seize" products out there available at most autoparts
stores. Permatex is one of the brands. I use this on my exhaust system
fasteners. That means I can take things apart down the road without breaking
things.
I've always eschewed grease based products on the brakes since the heat
will let the grease flow and possibly make contact with the braking surfaces.
But there are anti-squeel products at the same aforementioned autoparts
store designed specifically for this situation. Since I like to do things once
(it doesn't always work out this way) I'll leave the experimenting to
others.
