hi,
my brakes are making a horrible noise (not the screeching from the warning indicator thingy)... i have a can of brakleen cleaner... and it says to spray it all over the brakes except the rubber parts. am i spraying on the brake pads and the rotors?
this is what i interpret from the instructions, but I want to make sure that im not going to mess things up by spraying it on the pads or the rotor.
if i take out my pads, is it safe to clean the contact area with this product and then put them back in? or should i even bother doing that?

 

spray the rotor and the contact surface of the pads. you may have to take apart the caliper to get to the inner pad

 

ok, thanx wasnt sure if i was supposed to spray the contact area or not.
now another question... i got some brake lubricant, but i am not sure what parts i am supposed to apply it to

That would probably be grease for the caliper slide pins & the places where the pad backing plates rub against the caliper.
