Hello Everyone,

For last week I have been hearing this sound that sounds like a high pitch metal rubbing once in a while. I think it's coming from the rear brake on the passenger side.

Once in a while I hear it, not all the time. Could it be the rear drum is rubbing against the inner pad?

How should I resolve this? I thought the rear brakes were self adjusting?

Second question, is there any good step by step instructions with photos or a video of the process of replacing your front brake pads on non-syncro van? I have never done it before and want to do it right instead of spending $75 dollars at a mechanics.

Thanks in advance, Robert NY
