Well, latley my brakes have been squicking bad. I just pulled the tires off and checked the pads and i still have pad. So why is it squiking. Could te rotors be Glazed and if they are, how do i fix that.

try going in reverse and hitting the brakes a few times. Maybe your pads just needed to be re-seated? this usually helps me out.

You can knock the glaze off the rotors with emery cloth... Or you could have them resurfaced. However, if you are going to the trouble and expense of pulling your rotors it is not that much more expensive to just replace them...

do as droptop said, brake in reverse. my nephew had an 84 mercedes that he did this on, and it seemed to help.

Yep i think i am gonna go right now and get some emery cloth.

Thanx

Also. 4-piston calipers stop great, but, they are as gay as richard simons to remove cause just to change the pads you have to disconnect the caliper and then bleed 4 bleeder valves. AHHHHHHHHH

The reverse thing works. Also, I think you need a better beater car that is cheaper to fix.
