fendervg 33 Posted July 16, 2012 Just a question - many newer brake pads come with an adhesive backing strip on the back of the pad - there's a bit of a debate here on if they should be peeled off or elft on when fitting the pads. Does anyone know how they work and what the recommended way of doing it is ? I presume the idea is to reduce brake squeal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted July 16, 2012 I peel the back off put then cover it in copper grease anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
