I recently re-did the rear brakes - shoes and drums - on my '81 and I'm getting a squeel and grinding sound when I apply the brakes. If I was getting this sound on my bike I'd adjust the toe-in, but that obviously doesn't apply here. :) Or does it? Is this sound coming from the square ends of the brake pads rubbing against the drum? Would chamfering the ends of the brake pads help? Any other suggestions? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young young@sherlock.SIMS.Berkeley.EDU Lafayette, CA 94549 '81 Vanagon ---------------------------------------------------------------------
