" While l was doing the brake job an old man who lives down the
street came by
and told me to spray vinegar on the pads. He said the pads get hot and
glaze
over which is what causes the squeal. According to him, the vinegar
will
break down the glaze and make the pads run quiet again. Has anyone else
ever
heard of this? "

Nah, I usually just take a wizz on mine.... :^)
