I am having the same issue with brake squeal. It isn't happening when they are hot, it just happens a lot of the time. I have noticed when i hit the brakes hard it sometimes goes away. But I tend to notice it more when I'm driving slow or coming to a slow stop. When I first heard it I thought it was time to change the pads, but I took a look at them and they seemed fine. I recently had new tires installed (firehawk Indy 500's, so far I like them), and had the shop take a look to see if they saw anything, and they confirmed that the brakes looked fine. Hopefully your method works for me. The squeal is really annoying and makes my ride sound like a hoopty when I stop. Thanks for posting this tip. Fingers crossed.
