Chris dance Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Hi has anyone had trouble fitting ferodo rear brake pads using the brembo calipers ? I had trouble getting the old pads out ( just the rear ones) and found that the new ones were too large to go in. So much so that I shaved a couple of thou off the edges to get them to fit. And They are now squealing like crazy! Quote
ZMANALEX Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Some times you do have to top and tail pads slightly to get them to fit if the sliders are not in great shape. The squealing may be down to lack of shims or anti squeal grease. Did you bed them in ? Quote
Chris dance Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 I didn't put any anti squeal grease on them tbh, and I haven't followed any bedding in process either, I've always just avoided heavy braking for a few hundred miles to let them bed in. 1 Quote
rothers2901 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Sometimes it's just a matter of shaving off the excess exterior paint from the back plates. Iv'e had the same issues in the past. just file or grind the paint back till it fits. Quote

Chris dance Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Great thanks guys, still got the shims, and I'll get some grease today! I'll even read the instructions to bed them in! Quote
