Am I missing some spot(s)? Am I using the wrong brake lube? I sure don't like using this brake lube anyway, it's very messy and I would be fine removing it all, cleaning everything up, and re-applying different brake lube, if that's what it takes.
I sent basically this same message to Power Stop, to see what I was doing wrong. They didn't answer my question at all. Instead, they just sent me two new boxes of Z26 front brake pads?!!? Umm, thanks? I previously broke one of the aluminum ingots off one of the pads a month or so ago, and they sent me a box of pads then too. Of course I only used one pad out of that box. So I have two full boxes of new Z26 front pads, and another box of 3 new pads. Honestly not sure what I'm going to do. It doesn't squeal real often except when I do some town driving - lots of starting & stopping. I'm taking the car on a trip to St. Pete Beach in a couple of weeks, and dont' really want the brakes squealing when driving around town.
