Re: Terrible brake sounds (how do I fix?)

Jack and support car, remove wheel and remove one of the bolts holding the caliper so you can rotate it up out of the way and get a clear look at the pads and clips. You can then pop the pads out and remove the clips from the caliper bracket (everything just pops out at this point). Also check the rotor for signs of scratching, like a line all the way around. (if your rotors are slotted there may be a circle all the way around the face of the rotor connecting the outer edge of the slots. This is normal.)
