Brake squeal

[Venom]

I got the warning light come on the dash to check pads. I went to Supa-Quik Claremont in Landsdowne Rd. I asked then to ID which brakes pad must be changed. They looked and said both front and back plus arm bushes all to the value of R7000! So I decided to do the job myself. Pulled out the front brakes and what doya know, they looked new. Thanks Supa-Quik, won't see you guys ever again. Then fitted new (Ferodo) pads to the back and front. Now I have a squeal at slow speeds. Any suggestions how to remedy this? I can reopen the caliper section again if need be.

Do that, works all the time, everytime. Unless of course, you bought ceramic pads.

Sorry to hear that Gunner, I'll dismantle, clean and reassemble again if Freerider's suggestion does not work. There is no way that this beaut is going to squeal much more.

Its embarrassing rolling up to a stop and squealing all the way there

The method in that bedding in post is tried and tested, I used it when I did my front, rear and my wifes cars brakes.

I use Ferodo ceramic and they don't squeal.
