rear brake screech

[cydlantz@msn.com]

Kosher? Green Breasts? Green Pickles maybe... Seriously, I've heard this before. I'm more inclined to think that the screech is due to heat glazing of the brake lining. Filing it down would remove the glaze. So the fix might work but not for the reason stated. Also, most often brake noise is associated with disk brakes (using very hard pads).
