Default Squeaky brake pedal

Hi guys,

Driving back from work, noticed that I have a gritty, squeaky break pedal on release.

It might be grit because I park in an open air car park - I arrived early, so it was clear - and may have got something lodged having slid into my spot.

WD40? Leave it? Or buy some some ear plugs?

Cheers,

Vin

You could try lubricating the pivots, but I suspect it's probably the master cylinder seals getting hard.

It's usually the clutch master that goes first, but look under the dash for signs of weeping.

The clutch on the NSX was getting gritty and it was weeping. New seals & shaft (plus a fresh slave) and it's really smooth again. Except I forgot to ask them to lubricate the squeaky clutch fork, because I'm a senile old fart.

Thank you for the pointers, some spirited driving and 'good braking' seems to have solved it

dust on the pads or hard bads you can get 2 types the hard ones normally glaze up with dust the soft ones ware a bit more quicker but better braking and the don't squeak.
