Thanks for all the help with the squeaky brakes. I took them apart yesterday, applied cleaner to the rotor and and try to give the pads a light sanding with 1000 ply sand paper. They still have quite a bit of life in them. I thought they were in pretty good shape. I worked on the bevel you spoke about Kyle. It worked for a few laps around the block but the squeaking returned after some light braking. This leads me to believe that your second suggestion, JO, that it is friction from the back of the pad is the culprit. I plan to apply the anti-squeal to the back of the pads soon. I'll let yall know how it works. Thanks for all the help. On Thu, Jul 28, 2011 at 5:41 AM, <[email protected]>wrote:
