I do it and the problem is solved,works for me!   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/08/28 09:29 By FourFingers.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #113305 Frank_W (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1367 Re:Squeaky front brake 3 Months ago   Is there a write-up on how to remove the pads and where to apply the grease? (You know: One where they explain it like they are talking to a three-year old?)   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #113306 collector714 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 426 Re:Squeaky front brake 3 Months ago   Cant I just put it on the rotor   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #113311 Crusierbob (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 502 Re:Squeaky front brake 3 Months ago   Careful someone will think you are serious!!! I have used a dab of high temperature silicone grease on the back side of the pads to help them move more freely. Others have suggested that the leading edge of the pad be beveled with a file to reduce chatter and squeeking. Mine only sound like a bag full of bees when applied because of the cross drilled rotors, but I would not trade my brakes and their noise for any others I have used.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #113313 Questcap (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 376 Re:Squeaky front brake 3 Months ago   I'm going to try applying one of those stop-squeal products on the back of the pads, if ever I stop riding it! My bud's '02 squeals like a banshee too! Must be a lot of metal in them. If the product actually works, I'll report it here, and what it was.   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #113373 laslet (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 57 Re:Squeaky front brake 3 Months ago   Crusierbob wrote: ...Mine only sound like a bag full of bees when applied because of the cross drilled rotors,..
