Squeaky Brake Peddle
I have noticed that my brake peddle has started squeaking a bit, is there any part of it that I can oil? It's not bad, but I can notice it and I know it wasn't doing that when I purchased the car.

Re: Squeaky Brake Peddle
Sure, theres a hinge near the top, many have bushings that squeak like in a suspension. Spray white lithium grease works the best.

Re: Squeaky Brake Peddle
Peddle is what a bum does on the street corner, PEDAL is what is in your car.
There is a bar that goes through the pedals that they pivot on, not sure if you can get it out with the pedal bracket in the car or not, I've never tried taking mine out, but you can take that out and lube it up with some lithium grease and then reinstall it. Silicone spray works as well, that usually what I use at work when I work on something with a squeaky pedal.

Re: Squeaky Brake Peddle
Thanks I'll give that a try on my PEDAL. Probably try the spray white lithium grease suggestion.

Re: Squeaky Brake Peddle
By the way, Happy Birthday man The lithium grease will also work for your window regulator, sunroof slides, and whatever else needs a lubin'
