<VV> mystery rear brake noise, need help

[J R Read]

I do that as well (rears only squeak) but I don't think that sound (only 
when stopping - mainly gentle braking) is the same thing that Ray is asking 
about.  I really think that squeal on slow stops is the result of the 
organic brake material on the shoes.  Since it is embarrassing (to me), I 
clean out the dust fairly frequently - 2 or 3 times a year.

Later, JR
