Default It's really easy to fix...

..but most people make the MISTAKE of buying new pads. Waste of money!!!

You need to pull the pads and grease the BACK of the pads. Wipe a liberal amount of grease on the back of the pad and then reinstall. Takes about an hour to do both sides(front only)!!

Use high temperature graphite grease!!! You can buy it at your local auto parts store....I believe it's called brake grease!! I have to do this every spring to my old '91!!
