Brakes creaking

Post by j2 lot » Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:19 pm

Noticed recently that there is a creaking from the brake pedal - I initially thought it was the pedal box as I can hear it in the car but after parking in the drive and pressing the pedal I realised it is louder outside the car. Brakes work completely as normal & it creaks if you jump in and press the pedal without moving so it is more an annoyance than anything else.
:?
Any ideas?

Mine has done that for years now. Brakes still work really well :-)

Worse when hot, for info...

In that case strip and clean out the calipers and rebuild?
