Squeaky Rear Brake

[Kattie]

Everytime I go to hit my rear brake to stop on my pre kat it squeals like a cat thats just been hit by a car...The pads are good so I changed the rotor out with another that i had but its still doing the same thing...any ideas..?

Clean your rotor with some Windex

Mine is also squeeky as hell but that's cause I use it once or twice a month so rust and other crap builds up. (I'm too lazy to clean it)

Try beveling the leading edge of the brake pads with a 45 degree angle. The 90 degree angle on brake pads typically make them squeal. I know this from working on cars a lot.

Brake cleaner. Its probably dirt, just clean them very good and it should go away.

The small thin metal pieces behind the OEM setup will cause aftermarket brakes to squeal too... check for those.... thin plates behind each pad. Most aftermarket brakes do not require those.

I used to think something was wrong with my squealing brakes but they still function normally. The squeal will come an go. It doesn't bother me anymore. When it does occur I try to use it to teach myself how to brake better between the front/rear.

Also when you install the pads put either grease or some kind of anti-squeak on the bad of the pads. A squeak is a high pitched vibration between two metal surfaces. The grease will keep them from vibrating.
