98TJ, new pads/rotors...drivers front squeaks like crazy towards the end of the stop....like especially at low speeds. If I press hard enough on the brake it stops but man is it annoying. Any ideas?

maybe i'm off here but won't grease mess up the brakes? As in they won't stop? All I got laying around is wheel bearing grease.........I'd rather not remove the pads if I don't have to. Whats this copper stuff?

Whats this copper stuff? haha...i diont say put grease on your pads i said between your caliper piston and the back of your pads, and yes you will have to remove your pads and no thats not a big deal (takes about 5 seconds)

also, use a liberal amount of brake cleaner on the rotors when you re-applie, if you don't have brake cleaner, you can make it with some very diluted water and dish detergent.
