brakes squeel

Cooteboy · 05-31-2011, 01:17 AM

From my experience working in garages/shops/napa - brake squeal is a metal on metal vibration. The quick vibration of metal against metal creates a "chatter" of sorts in the form of a squeal. Run down to your nearest auto parts store get a tube of "brake quiet" - the sort of glue type one (Napa's comes in an clear glue-like bottle with orange goo in it). If you apply that between the "anti-rattle" plate and the back of the pad itself - that should eliminate the chatter/squeal. You'll of course want to apply a bit of brake silicone between the "anti-rattle" plate and the caliper itself also

Hope that helps!

Sort of on a funny note - just got my bike running, and now I need the exact same thing. My pads are GONE! Almost to bare metal - figures.
