If the squeak is when brakes are applied it's probably grease on the pads/shoes; it glazes and that's when it will squeak. Clean the metal with brake-clean like HRM says and sand the surfaces of the pads and shoes. When re-assembling don't get ANY grease or grime on the surfaces. Clean hands are a requirement. This is especially true of old Volvos.

There may be just enough grime on it to make it squeak. The back brake you should inspect. Remove the back wheel and pull out the brake pads. If there is still enough pad left clean them with the brake-clean (including the inside drum of course) and re-assemble. > Another thing that could be causing a front brake squeak is a warped disk >or out-of-alignment tire.
