Installed new pads last night (forgot what a NIGHTMARE twisting those pistons back in is!) and got a bit of a squeal when I test drove it.

 

Figured they just needed to bed in but this morning they got worse...I cringed every time I hit the brakes cuz I don't want peeps thinkin old subes are rattle boxes.

 

Several odd things I noticed while installing....

 

The shrink wrapped copper spring parts were only half complete - only a set for one caliper.

 

Then when I had the moly grease installed - the damn pads wouldn't fit in the caliper and comparing to the old ones, they seemed to be over sized due to poor manufacturing so I filed the tops down until they would fit in the groove.

 

Anways, I forgot the brand name (it was three letters, maybe mgx or something) but was wondering if anyone else had a bad experience with pads???

 

I'm look at 'em again tonight to see if I can spot why they arn't releasing....

So this is where I get to call myself "Mc Fly".

 

I turned in the pistons but one of them wasn't lined up with the notch on the pad :-\

 

I also cleaned off all that moly grease cuz its only gonna collect brake dust and clog up the pad's travel at a later date.

 

Silent as a mouse now :banana:
