    Squeak!!!!

    I've just had the front pads and discs changed and I seem to have developed an itermittent squeak that seems to be coming from the front end! It's driving me crazy as I can't pinpoint when it'll start!

    Could this be anything to do with changing the brakes?

    Strip em down wire brush them (carriers,hub, rear of padsand slider pins),, be careful not to get grease onto the faces of the disc or the friction surface of the pad. this should stop any skweeking.
