Hi, Greg. I have put about 500 miles on my Ambo since
I fixed the HOWLING front brake. I lightly sanded the
drum and cleaned it with CRC Braklean. I heavily
sanded the shoes and washed them with Simple Green and
hot water and let them dry overnight before installing
them. This is a home-meade recipe, but it has worked
so far. I don't nkow how long it will last - but I
hope it lasts forever.

has any method worked for totally eliminating brake
squeal? my front
brakes
squeal and grab. if i really jam 'em on it goes away
after a few
minutes of
ear piercing. does chamfering the leading edge and
trailing edge of
the
brake actually work? i tore them apart and cleaned 'em
up (removed
glaze/brake dust) and that worked for a few 100 miles,
then they
started
squealing again - they also squeal/grab worse when
it's humid/wet...
