Subject:Brakes still a squealin
From:MLind
Date:Mon, 7 Aug 2000 09:11:04 -0400

Hi all. I finally got around to replacing the rear brake pads on my 1981 westy.
The PO has just had them done at some brake place and they were squealing quite
badly. I got new shoes (pads?) a new spring kit, new drums, etc from the BD.
Heck, while I was at it I stuck in new wheel bearings. They still squeal, but
not as bad. What to do now?  The squeal is limited to right as I am stopping,
from 15 mph and below, and seems worse if I am applying more pressure (i.e.
downhill). Is this thing just doomed to squeal? Is there something I missed?

TIA
