Brake Pedal Squeak I have a 2005 Civic LX 4 door. The car has a squeak coming from the break pedal area(I believe). When the pedal is pushed down and let go, while stationary, there is a squeak. The squeak does not occur when the car is moving at a decent amount of speed and the pedal is pushed in to slow the car down. If the car is moving at a slow speed, such as slowing down gradually and coming to a stop, such as at stop light, there is a squeak. I have lubricated the top of the pedal bracket but no change thus figuring that it is not coming from that area. Ideas? Thanks! |
Re: Brake Pedal Squeak Stick your head out the window and see if it is coming from the rear brakes. Have someone on the outside of the car listen too. |
Re: Brake Pedal Squeak See if working the hand brake on/off will produce it. If so it is where the bottom [ portion of the shoes contact the backing plate. Lube in that area of the backing plate to resolve. |

When you say the shoes contacting the backing plate, assuming that means the backing plate is the back side of the rotor that the pads are grabbing a hold of on the front brakes? Thanks for the suggestion. |

There is a bit of a squeak when putting the hand brake down, not as drastic as when pushing down the foot pedal though.

So take the drum off and clean and lube that area? 3 per shoe 6 per side 12 total I use moly grease for these Google image search, there's a ton of stuff like this: http://www.handymanlyness.com/archiv...s_96_Yukon.jpg http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/...es_9_small.jpg |
Re: Brake Pedal Squeak When I did my 05 it was a simple fix, no disassembly required. (think it is the lower ones) And yes, it squeaks on brake pedal release, or hand brake release. |

Re: Brake Pedal Squeak Yes, A good flashlight and something to dab the lube to the backing plate. A chopstick or dowel, stiff wire. It only takes a small amount once you locate thee area it goes. |

Re: Brake Pedal Squeak I would not try to move them out, and would not work them much without drums in place. Believe the culprit to be the lower [ that makes the noise, and it is easily seen and iirc, you can see the area of the backing plate where they ride. try to get lube onto each side of them L & R then put the drums back on and work the hand brake several times to distribute lube. |

Re: Brake Pedal Squeak my guess is its the return springs in the rear drums those always make noises on hondas. clean and lube them. |

Re: Brake Pedal Squeak Did you grease the return spring? Shown in generic internet pic (not circled in white):http://oi58.tinypic.com/b5iqlf.jpg |
