Psych0matt Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Any way to queit it down? It's probably about time to change my pads, but I can't do it for a few weeks at least. it just one day all the sudden started squeaking horribly. it even squeaks some when I don't have my foot on the pedal. anything i can do temporarily?

SigEpCutlass Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Um is the caliper ok? Maybe it's siezed and the pads are constantly in contact with the rotor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 If it's working properly, take the pads out and put some anti squeal on the back of the pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 this happened to my friend's cavy...htime to replace the brake pads....in his case the pad was so worn that the squaler would not lose contact with the rotor.....and yeah he had to replace everything, but w/e it's for a cavy brakes are like $20 each haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Matt needs new pads. it's the freaking warning scraper thingamajig. The pad is down to 1/32 of an inch! Wd-40 would be a good fix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych0matt Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Wd-40 would be a good fix! it's funny you mentioned that, because i did spray a bit on there just to keep it from driving me even more nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych0matt Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 NP ken, post up those pics! (or send them so I can) Yeah, I bent the tab and its quiet now. The plan was to change them the week after next, when i get back from vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 in a few days i will post or send them to you. meanwhile, do the rear pads asap, before rotor damage occurs. it should not take too long... besides with your big ass wheels, you may be able to change the pads without removing the rims... a W-body first!!!
