Front brake squealing
Ken4004:
Hi everyone, front brake squeal decided to put a bit more copper slip grease between piston and back of brake pad but the question is when I purchased a new brake pad it came with a nylon washer should it be fitted as shown or not fitted at all
Ken4004:
I just found a Vedic on utube seems that the washer should be fitted so will add greeds to piston and not back of brake pad and see if it stops squealing
Skoti:
If you really want to try and stop brake squeal then maybe fit EBC FA013V semi sintered pads.
Not cheap but cured the problem for me.

I've got SBS and Vesrah pads in a junk box under my workshop bench.
Anyhow good luck with the copper brake grease...

Busting the glaze will stop the squeal. Just rub each pad over some sandpaper and a flat surface and wipe clean. 120-180 grit will do just a few strokes enough to take off the shine You can do the disc with some 800 grit as well but usually the first option works.
Worth checking if the groove that the rubber seal sits in is not corroded and making the seal tight on the piston and it not retracting properly and polishing the pads.
Taking the glaze off the pads usually works for me. I usually wait until old ladies at the bus stop drop their shopping bags then its time.

Is it not questionable to use copper grease near hydraulics, as it is mineral based? I've amways used the red brake grease, and yes, fit the nylon spacer.
