Fixed the brake squeal today.....
« on: 17 August 2008, 19:23:10 »

But will have to see how long it lasts for  :-/

First off, changed the front pads...for new ones filed down even more than Vx champer them......No difference  :( Still squealed when hot.....
The old pads were only about 50% worn ......

So this afternoon........changed the rear pads, again for new ones filed down (Vx dont put a champer on the rear pads).....the old pads were only 50% worn as well.......

But the squeal has gone  :y

Anyone wanna buy part used rear pads that cause squealing  :-/ ;D ;D
