Putting grease on the back of the pads is not a good idea. The pads become hot enough to melt the grease which could then run out onto the disk or your wheel.
Nice work, but i would consider to proceed this way only if i would not have a torque wrench... Otherwise is alway better to clean and check the caliper and the pistons beeing sure that they all move in the same way.
Hi Joe, thank you for your subscribing. I've just got my SMT so stay tuned for new videos. Having said that, there are loads (and really good ones) of other videos on TH-cam. Have a look here for more know how: www.ktmsmt.com Last and not least, the SMT is really an easy bike to work on. Don't be afraid to work on it, keep your calm and just do it ; )
Would take off the caliper to check and clean if necessary. Maybe even use ceramic grease for those braking pads
