Brake Squeal

Not surprised that it affected the stopping distance.......Martyns other car is a Rangie and I think you put oil on everything with them or is it just the leaks that make it appear that way......LOL

Mark

Bruce,
Give me some credit, oil................. Just for your info the pads are in good nick I haven't seen any tabs I'm having a better look tomorrow, and Mark there's nothing wrong with the braks on a Rangie, you might be right about the oil but, they never squeal......... Hummmmmmmm Keep the shiny side up

gday mudgutz.
fropm reading previous posts i can gather that (a)your a motor mechanic.
or (b)you know a little about mechanics.thats ok
but when it comes to brakes you obviously wouldnt have a clue what your on about.
you get on laughing about some of the ideas people put foward swapping pads/cut out grooves/filling leading edges.
what do you find so funny about that.
cutting a groove gives the dust build up some where to go wheres the funny bit in that.
swapping pads well a guy from dba explained to me that all brakes have a squeal but cant normaly be heard if the pads have a bad squeal swapping pads give different pitches in frequencies getting rid of squeeling(if its the cause) since being told that its worked in lots of cases.
and filling leading edges im not sure about the reason behind it but more and more pads are now coming out with chamfered leading edges now.
but now if you think you have heard it all now the most stupid thing ive heard in all my life was a bloke that says he gets under his car once a week to wash out the brake dust geez what a wanker he is(opps that was you wasnt it )
the guy only asked for ideas grow up biggutz oh sorry mudgutz and let people put there ideas foward and let them find out for them self what works and what dosnt.back by popular demand

Lucky Martyn isn't in Victoria taking your advice mudgutz....with the current water restrictions in place, I am sure that he would be %^&&*& off if he copped a huge fine as well as still having squeeky brakes...raflmaoJust Do It!

Anybody that suggests using oil is a Gumby, Everybody knows you should only use grease

i heard you the first time...

yeah mate as stupid as you jacking up your truck and pulling off the wheels pulling down the brakes ...swapping them over only to find to your surprise that a week later the dust has built up in there and you have to do it again...yeah I can see why my ideas silly because we have to put up with intelligent time saving labour saving ideas like yours... what does it take an hour to change the pads over......please enlighten all us wankers as to how you think that swapping the pads from one side to the other is gonna stop brake dust building up one little bit are the pads that were on the left magically gonna stop wearing and making dust just because there on the right or have you a technical answer for you brilliant idea.......at least removing the dust by hosing works.......although you have to do it weekly or so to keep the squeal down......how does your idea work mate just how does swapping the pads remove the cause of the squeal the brake dust
my comment comes from having as I stated read em all and tried most of them from cutting the disc to sanding the glaze off to swapping the pads to machining the discs to get rid of my squeal permanently and guess what discs still wear and the dust still builds up and she still squeals and mate I can tell you from experience that my way works....again how does your idea work how technically does swapping the pads over remove the brake dust....mate enlighten us

gday mudgutz.
mate now ive read it all .........lol..swap the pads over...file the leading edge....
cut a groove.
the above piece you typed is what anoyed me the most people were just giving martyn ideas then you get on and laugh at them thats my point.

yeah i didnt expect a bung fight either but you just never know ......its a public place......and i do reserve the right of reply lol......as you stated there was quite a bit of dust in there and an emery and a general clean up helped heaps......just keep hosing em out mate that will keep the dust down
