After all the work to quiet the rear brakes, they’re still noisy. Better, but still noisy. The chamfering seems to have helped. Guess I’ll order some Noisefree compound Monday.

Thanks for all the responses!!

 

OK, we’ll see what happens. I’ve beveled the leading and trailing edges of the pads, used some emery cloth to sand the rotors and give the surface some texture, used lots of the new CRC Anti-Squeal compound on the back of the pads, then went out and did six or seven 60-10 hard stops to heat up the brakes. I’m leaving in a little while for a short drive to an event and will see if I get any squealing. 

 

I’ll get some Noisefree compound if this doesn’t work, but they’re on the east coast and it will take several days to get here.

 

Later,

RE: pad seating on the slides.  The corners where they meet the caliper slide are beveled on the Pagid right out of the box.  I also use a file to clean up the slides and apply (Pagid advises against this) anti-seize to the slides where the pads seat in the corners.


 


RE: Richard's bavauto.com link, that's 2 ounces at 5.95 vs. 4 ounces at 9.95 directly from noisefree.com the manufacturer.
