Brake cleaner H. :thumbs:

If they are sqeaking or screeching though, you'll need to coat the backs and metal edges (contact surfaces) of the pads and carriers with copper slip or a similar anti-sqeal compound.

That should do the trick. :thumbs:

what is the proper way to clean any dirt off them :boggle:

lol same here, ive just put wd40 on lmao worked now its bk :s

i need to clean my brakes, but dont want to start messing with something i dont really know about and that are used as importantly as brakes

[Edited on 16-04-2006 by Haimsey]

probably a piece of grit stuck in the pad

lol i live in a culdy saxk and it must annoy the neighbers

it is very very annoying :mad: i sometimes leave the work car park last just so as none is around :lol:

yeh ill check them things. how annoying is it mate, im getting looks for that noise rather than my slut of a car .

mine are doing this too at the moment :( each time i set off they screatch :mad: after a braking a few times it is ok

How recently was it fixed ?

Could just be some dirt

also check its not the dust shield whatever its called behind the disc. i had the same problem and found that the cover had bent in slightly and was catching the disc

Try a couple of emergency stops.

If this doesn't work, take both sides apart, cane everything with brake cleaner, and then re-assemble with copper slip or similar, on all the contact surfaces (not the friction surfaces though obviously).

That should do it. :)

corsa808 fixed my car had the front right brake off and it does this now lol. didnt before

Are they binding? Are your disc's wet? Could be just surface rust.

doesnt sound like dust/grit then

does it do it when you brake?

it does it when u set off !
