Message	Considering I’ve done about 1000 350z brake jobs at work, I feel I have some knowledge in this. First, turn the rotors. They CAN be done, I’ve done it to my own. Secondly, see your brake pads and that groove in the middle? And then see all that brake dust that built up in there? Get a flat head and scrape it all out. It will cause squealing if the groove is packed with dust.
