the little metal plate is anti rattle, and yes you need it
if it is between caliper and pad it should not evem touch disk, therefore it would not cause squeeling
try using a good brake cleaner
squeeling is usually caused by dust and grime coating parts
I put a little Engine oil into the Hydrolic brakes which overflowed immediately as already full can i still drive
You brakes are no longer any good. Either that or there is a little man in there trying to get out.
Yes it is possible to replace brakes yourself. If you have the tools and a little background in cars, you should not have a problem replacing the brakes on the car.
smart car
It depends on your driving style and the condition of the calipers. If you ride the brakes or otherwise drive in such a manner as to cause the brakes to overheat, the rotors will warp prematurely. If you are constantly in stop-and-go driving conditions you will wear out the brake pads and rotors much faster than someone who drives greater distances and seldom uses the brakes. I've seen some people who get little more than 20,000 miles from brakes and/or rotors. My last brake pads and rotors had over 70,000 miles when I changed them, but then, we drive long distances here.

my brakes squeek do i need new brakes??? More than likely it's just a build up of brake dust causing the squealing best advise I can offer is to have the brakes checked & cleaned As long as the brakes are not grinding you should be OK for a little while
The placement has little at all to do with viruses. Both external and internal disk drives have the same chance of getting viruses.
The same way you bleed brakes, but use the little bleeder valve on the slave cylinder. The same way you bleed brakes, but use the little bleeder valve on the slave cylinder.
With the spring brakes engaged, put the truck into first gear, and let off a little on the clutch. If it pulls, but does not move, your brakes are in working order. If the vehicle moves, there's a deficiency which needs to be corrected.
yes, that happened to me once..
Pumping gently will reduce friction, produce less heat and help the brakes last a little longer. This procedure is not recommended if you have a truck with air operated brakes.
