78,000 Miles, the only maintenance I have done is oil changes, fuel filters, tires, other misc. filters.
I had a slight squeeking/cherping problem at very low speeds. Upon inspecting front brakes I noticed that roters were scored, however a decent about of pad left. So I ordered Brembo rotors and a set of Pagid brake pads. I Installed and went good, braking is MUCH better but cherping/squeeking, seems worse.????
I have not yet checked back brakes yet. I have a good third party manul. And seems that back brakes are MUCH more difficult? It says that if you replace the back rotors you have to readjust parking brake. Also recommends a special tool to reset the caliper, by rotating it clockwise 1/4 turn. However I have been told that I don't need a special tool a set of vise grips will work?
Any suggestions, Please?
Much thanks in advance
