try taking the pads out and cleaning the faces along with the disc itself.

Remove the pads, clean up the caliper, then smear a little copper grease on the BACK on the pads, and then put them back in. Should stop them squeaking.

Note; Copper grease on the back of the pads, NOT the surface which contacts the disc.

Yes. three bolts rear and two front. you might have a cap on them where the pads pop in and out. Get a manual as it sounds like you dont know what you are doing. Worth learning from watching someone do it for you if you can.

You can also lightly grease the ends of the pads where they sit in the callipers with copper grease, just a smear is enough Thumbs Up

Mine on the car squeal well despite this, I put it down to the ceramic compound... They're silent when they're nice and hot.

My mum wanted me to spray my front discs with WD40 to stop them squeaking.... Must be a mum thing Laughing

Get the pads out, grease the backs of them, grease the sliding pin and rough the face of the pads up on some concrete. Don't fuck them up, just make them look dull rather than shiney.

Check the width of the disc too as they can start the increase in flex and vibrate when they get too thin.
