I have a problem with an excessive screeching noise from the rear brake when the brake is applied. It really is ear shattering! It also seems to be very "grabby"
thanks nealh is it a big job to replace them.Look at the pads are they very shiny or low on wear ?
If very shiny try lightly sanding the surface or replace them.
Thanks for the photo Gary, it's not one I recognise though. It's definitely not a drum brake with linings. It will be a metal to metal one like a roller and ramp type, hence the screeching. They need grease to stop the noise.
