JMRolfe Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Hi Alex (or anyone else) Finally got round to fitting the rear shims over the weekend, thank you for supplying. Something I should have asked before however - which order do they go in?! :| As it stands I have the pad, then the tapered shim (with arrow pointing in wheel direction - down), then the square shim. Is this the correct order / way around? If not I’ll change asap. It has cured 95% of the squeak, tho I did use a lot of copper grease. If its correct I’ll take it out and bed them in.

Zugara Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 James, Too much copper grease can find its way out You would only need a light smear of grease. I would suggest reducing the amount of grease straight away..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMRolfe Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ok, I’ll take off some of the copper grease then. Thanks : ) Anyone know what order the rear shim are meant to go on?? I can’t find a photo / description anywhere!! Cheers James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Fitted red stuff pads about 2 wks ago, using the adhesive shims supplied and copper slip and mine are squeeking. Hope that further running in will cure the problem. I can also add that fitted the same pads/shims/copper slip on the last pad change with no squeeking at all.
