Brake squeal.....
I find brake squeal occurs for two reason...
1...metal to metal contact
2...brake dust between pads and discs
First is resolved by placing copper grease where ever there is
metal contact between the pads and the caliper I.e. Where the
pads hook rides along the caliper when the brake is squeezed....
The second occurs when after Market brake pads are used because brake
dust builds up in the caliper and causes a squelling noise...for some oem
brake pads don't cause the dust to build up so much therefore
not causing such a build up. So to resolve this issue either use oem pads
or when changing pads...clean the inside of the caliper thoroughly....I did this last time by using some emery pad on the end of a dremel...this got rid of the
the black dust that build up on the caliper and it also mean the pads line up better in the caliper.
Finally the self adhesive is used cos on the stock brakes it is a real mare trying
To work out how the pads on the outside of the caliper stay in place t funny little clips at the stop....I just used a little bit of glue....mind not sure the adhesive work that well as the caliper must get prettty hot which must make the adhesive pretty much ineffective....
