Break noise

[Jeremy]

So I have a Honda Accord 99 ex. Every time I step on the breaks it makes some crunchie noise but I went to the shop and got it check out they told me it’s just a spot that keeps getting degreased the end tips of each break pad so they grease it but it keeps getting degreased, I would’ve to keep greasing it to stay quite. Anybody know why this keeps getting degreased ?

Im confused what do you mean by “degreased”
pads dont have grease on them they are dry and are not oiled

[Shaun Flichel]

The sides of the pads where they contact the caliper gets anti-sieze

[Jeremy]

The tips at the ends I said not the actaul pad

[Jeremy]

What would I do to get it fixed

[PaulKim]

They should slide freely. Without grease. You can anti sieze if you want but should not be required. I change pads dozens of times on my track car with no grease or anti sieze with sliding rear calipers and 4 piston fronts. Zero noise and sees much more abuse than a street car. Something is wrong.

Who replaced the pads. Do the pad ends stick in freely or are they tight? Is all the calipers making noise? What else was replaced when the pads were done?

[Jeremy]

The pads and the rotor was changed and the pad they freely and little tight and no it’s just the front left one that makes the noise

if your talking about that area how are the clips are they broken or missing??
the other thing is the caliper pins if your loosing grease on them then the boots are cracked or not installed correctly

but if your talking about where the ends of the pads touch the brackets…. there is nothing you can do about that other then just take them out and re grease that area… but that area really shouldnt be greased…. because the grease can get into the pads and cuase braking to fail

[Jeremy]

I check the clips multiple times and they look fine to me , yes I’m loosing grease

[PaulKim]

Wait are we talking greasing the pad ends OR the caliper slide pins?

Personally Im still confused myself…. so Im bringing both up to eleminate wich one it is… they will have the anser for both of them…
only thing else is the cliper getting stuck and if thats the case your caliper is shoot and will have to replace it you dont grease it
