Could just be grit in the caliper, saying that 3 out of 4 calipers on my D3 have been replaced through binding on. Is the wheel getting hotter than the others??

Hi There

If you remove rear wheel and remove the plastic plug to get to the rear brake shoe adjuster ( this is clearly visable ) then blow commpressed air into the hole while rotating the disc ( wear a mask and goggles for safety reasons) You will clearly see all the brake dust been blown out.


I have found this the easy way ! the only other way is to remove disc/drum and clean out all the brake dust.

SQUEAK GONE Thumbs Up but only till next time Big Cry


This has worked for me and i have used both methods hope this helps
