**Brake job Help**
So i bought the blue Hawk HPS 1 piece pads for the front and I did the brake job about 4 months ago.....no problems......
Now I bought the same pads for the back 2 piece padlets and I am getting brake squeals now....but only in the back.... the only thing i did different is I didnt cut the rotors in the back for the new pads.... im sure thats probably it but.... my question is do I need to put brake gel on the back on the pads and around where the hardware touches the pad? I was told by CarX not to put any gel at all....
THE SQUEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
