Feel free to crank down on the bolts holding the brake arms on. Unless you're dealing with a $70US department store bike, they all have bushings to prevent the bolt causing bind in the arm. Of course, they don't need to be King Kong tight, but generally speaking, you're not going to get enough force from the standard length wrench to do damage. Wheel bearing adjustment in and of itself won't cause brake squeal. It's all in the adjustment of the pad. eric -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
