Slipery brake pad isn't any fun..
Put some cardboard or newspaper down on the carpet near the hinge for the brake pad and spray away. WD-40 will work but it won't last too long

Don't laugh at my question. I have no mechanical experience. Just got my first hammer last year. I want to put some oil or grease on my brake pedal because it squeaks when pushed down all the way. What goop should I use? I don't know the difference between oil, grease, WD40, etc..... Does it matter which goop I use? |

You could try WD-40.. walmart has it. Just dont get it on the pedal itself. |

I would try to WD-40 first to make sure the squeak will actually go away. It may be something else that you cannot lube. And yes, a grease would last longer. You could buy a tube of the grease at walmart and use it. You wouldnt need a grease gun for it, just take the cap off, get what grease you need, then put the cap back on. One end will open like a can of tuna and the other will have a cap.. Take the cap off and leave the other end closed. |

I have the same squeek, but not all the time.. I don't know what causes it, if it is the temp or something, but I have the same one, when pumping the brake I can hear it. |

Well I think the squeak is coming from somewhere I can't oil or grease. Might be inside the booty thing. Hope it wears off. I had another question: Was stuck in a traffic jam today and was on and off the brake about 6 million times. There is a clicking sound everytime you push the brake and release it. What is that? Is there some kind of computer switch that the brake clicks on and off? |
