My car developed a loud squeal after I pulled the front pads off of the left side. When I pulled them I noticed that the pads were basically glued to the pistons with RTV.

Is it a common practice to do that???

I've used this liquid/goopy stuff on the back of brake pads that's used to stop squealing brake pads. Works pretty good, but if I remember right, you're supposed to let it dry before putting the pads back in. Sounds like someone put it on and stuck them back in, don't think that would hurt anything.

Scrap it off, pick some up at the FLAPS, and you're good to go. Oh yeah, it comes in different colors too. Color coordinate your brake pads, lol

Later, Don
