How about over long caliper bolts?

extreme90:
would have re used the old uns tho  :?
unless the casting on the caliper is smaller, but it needs to be a good 8mm  :shock:

spinkster:
are the brakes actually binding??? go for a run and jump out (when youve coasted to a stop) and see how hot the rims are......not the discs cos they will be hot and you'll burn your finger........check front and back wheels...........if they are hot have you done anything with the servo???

it could be you need to adjust the servo slightly (pop the master cylinder off (2 x 17mm bolts) and undo the locknut on the servo pushrod (13mm) then wind in the pushrod about 1/2 -> 3/4 of a turn (10mm but it should turn by hand)

check the brakes work then go for a run and see if the squealing has gone

obviously only do this if all 4 wheels are binding
