Brake probs

[5AMBO]

I know this will prob sound like a bit of an amatuer question but, my brakes just wont stop squeeking and dunno how to stop it.
not sure if its some or all of them but whenever i go near the brake pedal, the noise is awful. they are new brakes and discs but have been worn in now and been on about a month or so.

Any ideas?????

did a garage fit the pads and discs?

if so take it back 2 them and say its squeeling, if not copper grease on back of pads and a bit of wire brush along the carriers should do the trick

hope this helps bud

no i fitted all discs and pads myself mate. what exactly is it i need to do...? do i need to take them apart or can i do it with them still on car as it was a nightmare getting them all done.lol

just take the pads back out and rub some copper grease on the backs of them, try not to get the grease on the pad surface itself :y:

[tif992ss]

Chamfer the leading edge of the pad material and carefully apply the copper slip to the rear of the pads

i found it rly difficult fitting the pads and dont know if i will be able to get them back in if i take them out.lol.

think im gonna have to put up with it

its easy mate, gets easier each time you take them off

clip off

torx/allen bolts removed from the caliper

take off caliper, unclip from the piston on one side then whack grease on them and put them back together

rears ar a bit more complicated but still quite easy, remove the clips (anti rattle springs) remove the bolts to remove full caliper

then change pad, put grease on the backs of them

wind the piston back in with a screwdriver and then thats about it really

simple qucik how to (ave probablies missed somethin out)

nope, think u got it all in there mate. everything just seemed so stiff when i did it last time and i wasnt sure if i was gonna get the clips back in at one point.
might give it a go if it stays like it or gets worse though.

cheers
