rear brakes are drivin me nuts with the squealin and squeakin they are doin. Only seems to to do it when they are used and hot. this is not whilst brakin only when drivin, well embarrasing when racin down lanes then slowly passin through villages with the dam things soundin like the brass band has come to town.
i did replace the discs and pads a few months ago and they have been fine until now. iv'e had the calipers off and checked they are free and not stiff etc but still NOISE.

Mine were squealing last week, so I took the calipers off, took the pads out, chamfered the leading edge of the pad slightly, then removed the disc, and cleaned the handbrake shoes and the inside of the disc, I couldn't be sure whether it was the foot brake or the handbrake that was making the noise, then put the disc back, then put a fair amount of copperslip on the back of the pads, and refit the lot.


Result.







No squeall!!



JOY!
