squeaky brakes
 

i recently cleaned my brakes w/ brake cleaner... like i took the wheels off and totally sprayed them like crazy to get the grease stuff off...

Well a few days later, brakes started squeaking... Any ideas????

Lube up those pads.

Shin-Etsu grease on those shims.

1 set of AP1 pads, 2 sets of AP2 pads, only squeaked once. I glazed my pads at the track, had to burn that shiny surface off.

Ok first of all, for asking those questions, smear some grease on your forehead. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif jk

Now for the easy part. The shim is the thin piece of aluminum that attaches to the back of the pads. Apply the grease to the back of the shim, the side that touches the caliper piston.

Voila. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

You definitely have to remove the wheels to change or service your brake pads.

i have noticed annoying squeaking with my 04's brake pads. At first i thought they were getting worn down, but after inspecting them, they just need greased. I have just been too lazy to do it. After all, i've only put 100 miles on the car in the past 3 months. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif

Wow. On my Berlina I put down 18k miles in 6 months, on the GPW 6.4k in 5 months. You're S must feel lonely.

There are 2 caliper mounting bolts. They are 17mm socket. You need to take one off and loosen the other one so you can swing the caliper out and access the pads.
