OK, my truck's brakes are squealing like they need to be replaced. So I pulled the tires to check them and they are less than 1/4 worn (and nowhere near the metal indictor.) So I don't know what else

Did you look at the face of the pads? I've seen several that squeeled because they had what looked like thin smears of steel stuck in the surface. (sometimes 1/4" wide an 1/2" long) Sand pads on a fl

The rotors probably rusted and accumulated a bunch of cruft from not being used. First applicationof the brakes wiped it all off and coated the pads with it. Clean the pads and rotors with some brake

What do you all do to 'break the glaze"? I have tried sandpaper, wire brush and an old pad but it never seems to do much good. Mark I agree. Also wouldn't hurt to file just a bit of a angle on the le

I use two 80 grit adhesive sanding discs stuck together. The back one keeps them in place on the bench while you sand the face of the pad. You'll see it get dull in the places where you've sanded pr

In the past, I've used 150 grit silicon carbide cloth, eg, http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93583 Works, but it's kind of tedious. Found some of these http://tinyurl.
