Just got the HT on the road after a long stint in the shed. Before it was pulled off the road it had new rotors and pads on the front. Now the brakes squeal at every available opportunity. I know this is a problem with this model. But how do you over come it?? there must be an easy way to fix it.
Thanks

I had a HR Premier that did the same thing, apparently it's the brake dust being caught between the pad and rotor. The fix was to cut a slot in the pad from top to bottom but leave around 3mm to contact against the metal base of the pad. This gives a re |

you need to run your pads in properly.
drive at 60kph, and with your foot on the accelerator, slow the car to 50kph - and repeat about 15-20 times.

Its usually vibrations between the metal backing plate of the pad and the piston...I put silastic on mine and it stopped...neutral cure silastic.
