I replaced the rotors and brakes on my 2000 civic today. I just bought the car yesterday.


And now its got this god awful squealing coming from the front drivers side wheel, but i couldnt see where anything hit.

Any ideas?

Did you re grease the slide pins and put grease on the back of the pad shims where they touch the caliper?

Nope. I'm assuming thats probably my problem!

Probably, I would start with that first. Use a liberal amount on the back shims. I like to remove all the old grease from the slide pins before adding new grease. Use a liberal amount on these also.

Hopefully none of your slide pins are seized.

Put grease on it, made it better, but still had a noise. Turns out, i had the brake pads all the way up on the rotor. Whoops!

glad you figured it out. It was good to grease those parts anyway. Now you are good to go.
