[W126 Coupe] Brake Squeal?

[Gary]

i took an auto class about 6 months ago and i remember the instructor mentioned, on mercedes brakes they almost always squeak and its because, if i remember correctly, on the brake itself you have to grind something down...and i can't remember what it was...i'll try to get a hold of him this week and find out what it was...anyhow look at the brake and see if you can find that area.

>Are the pads already broken in at thispoint? When I put Metal Masters on my SE I never had any problems. Then my muchgentler driving dad drove the car for a while, and it started squealingterribly. I started driving it again and the squeal went away. If they arealready bedded in, do some (like 8) hard 60mph to 20mph ?stops? (inquotation marks because you aren?t coming to a complete stop, you are justslowing down fast) and see if the squealing goes away.
