What works best for stopping squeely brakes, mine are now making lots of noise in the front. I bought some of the CRC orange stuff for the pads but don't really know if it works.

Mine squeel pretty bad as well. I tried the CVC and it seemed to work on the left wheel but not the right. Go figure. I've been told that a little high temp grease works. Just don't put anything on the friction side of the pad!

cover the back of the pad with black electrical tape. No more squeely!

Also could have glazed the pads. "must drive and brake harder". But since you have to pull the pads anyway put a piece of fine sand paper on a piece of glass and wipe the friction side of the pad once or twice.

When my Hawk blue pads were cold they would squeel. after the first good stop the were OK. (928S) Don't know what the pads are on the teener but they grip and are quiet w/ little dust.
