Before dismantling anything, be sure to confirm the part numbers when you receive them. Laz - Thursday, 30 June, 2011, at 11:47:38 am |

I am about to replace the rear pads on my 2000 S as my dash light is on. I never did this before and read Pedro's nice writeup but..... I understand my S has anti-squeal something or other and require an additional procedure that includes removing the calipers. Is this true and where can I get the additional instructions?
I also wonder if my mechanic replaced the pads with the anti-squeal types as I have been getting squeal for the last year or so.
Another note, I am very mechanically inclined but have never done a brake job before so "See spot run" is my speed.

"The squeal may arise from the brake hardware being dirty."
more precisely from brake dust between the piston and the pad. most people think that it's the pad against the rotor that squeaks but that's more of a grinding, rubbing sound than the high pitched squeel that occurs under light braking. if the sound goes away when you brake heavily, then it's the dust between piston and pad.
i used to do the same as marc and wash the brakes out. it usually lasted me 3 or 4 months before i needed to do it again.
