  • front brakes

    79 xsf
    I have been bitten by the squeal bug on my front brakes,
    Here is what I have done so far. Rebuilt calipers( with out new pucks) rebuilt master( note the reservoir body is checked but not leaking). Seem that the brake leaver is hard to operate. When I really clamp down on them the squeal goes away. What are my options? Bob

      Mine did same thing, take you pads off and see if they are worn funny or cocked in the holder, mine were. They were stuck in the caliper, I had to file a very small bit off the mounting tabs so they wouldn't get stuck. You can still hear them scrape a very small bit, but work the way the should now.
