Hi Everybody !

I have a problem with my back brakes!
So !
I changed the brake disk and the brake-shoe in every two sides 2 years ago.
The brake disk name is : LUCAS and the brake-shoes name are LUCAS too .
Now, two weaks ago.

The back brakes are very noisy.
When I brake the back brakes Ululate and whistle.

I regulated the diskes and the brake-shoes, I tied up the handbrake and I changed the little spring. The brake-shoes was holded by the spring.

The problem is still .

Help me !

Thanks !

Szilard

hi
Rear disc brakes tend to seize due to lack of travel in the caliper pistons
I have experienced the same problem
remove the caliper and free up the piston as much as possible.
replace the dust cover if it is perished.

normally there are anti squeal shims which fit between the pad and the caliper - have these fitted. Also another trick is to put a dab of copperslip grease between the pad and caliper. hope this helps
