Squeaky Brakes

(1/2) > >>

Kenny:
Since changing the pads a month or so ago the front bakes now squeak all of the time and only stop when I actually brake or turn the wheel.

This is really, really annoying.

Can it be fixed ? If not should I replace the pads is there any way to stop the new ones from squeaking also.

TIA

Damian

Jimbo:
Did you grease up the new pads ? - you need to apply a really small amount of copper grease to the back of the pads, this stops the squealing.

But only a real little smear of grease is required !!!!!!!!!

Jim

TimM:
When things squeek I always give them a quick spray with WD40.

ONLY KIDDING!!!!!!!

Tim.  :wink:

Kenny:
So if I apply some grease now will that stop the squeaking ?

Cheers

Damian

Jimbo:
You'll need to remove the pads, and smear a very small amount over the back of the pad - then re-install the pad carefully.
