My daughter and bf did a break job on the 99 GT last night. They noticed that the back pads that were on it were worn at an angle.

When the new pads (wagner) went on the back, they only had one shim....once they went on, they still made noise (rubbing) on the test drive....so my bf greased the slider pins...they still make a little noise at low speeds.

Anyone have any idea what else could help?

did you notice if it was difficult to press in the pistons? how are the slider pin lubrication? greasing the shims are more for squeak prevention.

Lower slider pin received new grease. The piston seemed to press in normally and we verified the piston came back out via normal brake use. I wonder if the top slider pin could be suspect. Anyone have experience with removing this pin since it does not have a bolt head on it?
