NO NO NO AND NO again you crazy fooker. That will make things ten times worse.

There is galvanic corrosion if you have both ally and copper in contact. Never ever use copper slip on any alloy components.
Rear calipers are made of aluminium.

Funnily enough i got that from a peugeot data sheet that was released to workshops after they all started seizing and snapping. Who says they are ally? Could be steel nipples (giggidy)
