Make sure no grease touches the surface of the brakes.


Explanation:
This is how I would do it. Working on a car, most things are covered in grease including your hands, but when you work on the brakes, the last thing you want is for any of that grease to get on the surface of the brake shoes or pads.

Avoid getting grease on braking surfaces.


Explanation:
I think 'avoid' sounds fine but 'reaching' doesn't sound quite right. There would have to be a whole lot of grease involved for it to 'reach' the braking surface.
