Anyone help? I've got squeeling brakes...
I just got done installing my new pads and rotors. I went with the EBC greenstuff pads and Eradispeed rotors. I painted my calipers and the top of the brake pads (they're green and I wanted them black)
This was obviously a dirty job, lots of dirt and grease on my hands etc... but I thought I was pretty careful not to get anything on the rotors or pads. I'm getting squeeling from the front right pad only. Any ideas to what could be causing it and/or how to fix it? Any help would be great, TIA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Also, what is the best way to set the rotors and brake in the pads? I've taken it for a spin but havn't done any type of hard braking, I've heard you wanna give it 200 miles or so before you do any type of hard braking.

& don't forget, you can never use too much brake cleaner. Just spray that stuff on eveything you can and hope no hot spots have already formed, good luck
