        Is it your tire that is squeaking, or your brakes? They are two completely different parts.


        I assume it's the brakes. Brake pads are easy. You just need a ratchet to get to them, and a large C clamp to compress the caliper. Look up "disc brake replacement" on Google, or search for a video on youtube. You'll find lots of information.

            Is the brakes are squeaking, it is not coming from your tire. The the tire is that big black rubber thing surrounding the wheel. The wheel is the metal thing bolted to the hub. The brakes consist of the rotor, also bolted to the hub, and the brake pads, pressed to the rotor by the caliper. If something is squeaking, it is most likely the wear indicators on your brake pads, as they are designed to squeak when your pads get low. Ignore this, and you will end up with the metal backing plates of the pads digging into your rotors (not something you want). You will need to get your rotors resurfaced when you replace your pads, or you will glaze them, and your brakes will not work correctly.

                Yup, just change the pads. Get some Hawks (HPS) Their great and not too expensive.

                  i don't know about where you live but here i won't bother resurfacing the rotors because they are only $23 a peice and a resurface is $25 and new rotors are better than resurfaced
