Squealing front brake (again)

(1/3) > >>

paulbaker1954:
I am asking again as I am fed up with the squeal from my fron brake

I have changed the hoses, fitted EBC pads (and filed a taper around them) and still it howls.

Could it be an issue with the disc rotor itself?

Anyone ever solved this, I Know there have been a number of threads over the years.

Sorry if this is old ground

Do you insert the pads dry?

I put some high melting point grease around the pads,

See what happens

Obviously take care to keep away from the pads surface

Cheers will give that a try

Oddly enough my 500 front brakes have not started to squeal yet - probably as they are hardly working.

At the moment it's me making the squealing noise " bl**dy....*ell...no..fluffing.... brakes".
