about brakes and calipers.
i found out that my front brakes have unevenly worn down. My car has bad alignment. So i 'm just gonna clean the shims, brake, caliper, and etc.
i have some questions about doing this.
How should i clean the brake pads? It seemed like there's some dust. Do i use brake cleaner to clean the caliper bracket and rotor? Do i apply brake grease on back of the brake pads, both sides of shims, and also on the side where it touches the piston? How should I fix the caliper from being stuck?
too many question, soryy
but help me out

break cleaner should work if you cleaning it but your not suppose to get it on the rubber parts.
the brake grease goes on both sides the sides that touches the piston and the side that touch the caliper
brake dust will something make your breaks squil, but it might also be warped rotors
if your driving on the freeway and press the brake gently does the car vibator or shack?

Maybe the squealing sound is from the dust since it has OEM brake pads.
Can i use the brake cleaner or water for the brake pads? since it's OEM brake pads, i think it contains semi-metalic or ceremic.
is it ok to use brake cleaner to clean the rotor?
Water will work for the pads and brake cleaner will work for the rotors.
Can you expand on "my front brakes have unevenly worn down"? Do you mean the pads or the rotors? Either way, I doubt cleaning them alone will solve the problem. I don't think "bad alignment" would cause uneven brake wear. That can be caused by torquing the wheels down wrong. That setting is 80ft-lbs.
