Hi,
I have an '98 Omega 2.5 V6 Auto. About 1500 miles ago I had the front disks & pads changed by a pal who knows what he is doing. The rears were inspected and determined to be fine. Am not sure about the disks, but I know GM pads were used.
Soon after the brakes have started squeaking but only as the car comes to a halt.
Any ideas?

Did he put the anti-squeal glue onto the backing plates?
This is not a grease or coppaslip type of stuff, but a red rubbery compound which has to be left to partially set.
Here are examples I found with google.

Thanks - thats very informative indeed.
It maybe a stupid question, but if this stuff is applied to the backing plates and then allowed to set - surely it will interfere with fitting the pad in place wont it? Also, what happens to the excess material that has been applied when you do put them in place?
Regards

On the instructions on mine which were small one use sachets, it said to allow something like 10 minutes to become tacky. In that time, it set enough for the pads to slid in without the goop scraping off. The orange stuff that did not touch the piston or calliper did no harm it is benign.
