My front and rear brakes have developed nasty squeals.
The front squeals and groans only on hard stops & in the last metre or two of travel - I believe that the pads have glazed.
The rear gives a far lighter, high pitch squeal during gentle, constant braking at low speeds.
I intend to pull both apart, rough up the pads and discs, apply a spray on cleaner to the discs & callipers, apply a spray on "stop squeaks" type compound to the back of the pads and reassemble.
Anyone have thoughts, advice or general tips to offer?
Do you think the above should stop the problem?
I'm not really sure what grade of paper I should be using on the discs... never had to resort to that before. I'm also not sure if there's anything else I should do while I've got them apart.
The pads have good life still in them, but while we're at it, what brand/type of pads do you recommend? It seems that EBC are popular...
