I have recently replaced pads and bled both brakes. Pedals are firm.
At my airport, I have to taxi from the hangar line to the taxiway down a short incline/hill - nothing TOO aggressive, but I do have to ride the brakes down it to keep from going too fast.
My right brake has been making a noise - not a squeal, but more like a deep....squeak. Think of a sound close to a French horn.
The brake pedal feel - as I said - feels the same in both pedals, but it feels like the caliper isn't grabbing as tightly and the brake doesn't have the same holding power. If I hold the pedals and do a run up to 2000RPM, I can feel the right trying to break loose and I have to press much harder to hold it.
Braking action on rollout has been fine up to this point, but I'm worried about it because it's not supposed to be this way and I don't know why.
I thought about re-bleeding it but if the pedal pressure is the same as the left, (which works fine) is that really the issue?
I'm going to inspect tomorrow but wondered if there was something specific I should be looking at?
