Do the "anti-squeal" plates on the back of brake pads perform any real task or can I rip them out? All they do is squeal, I've applied some anti-squeal gummy paste to them but that only lasted a couple of months.

[Nightcrawler]

Yes, you NEED the anti-squeal plates. And you need to slather them with anti-squeal goo - not just a little bit. Buy the good stuff too - the really sticky orange stuff is usually the best.

CRC Disc Brake Quiet is what I have - bright redish, used a whole bottle per axle and coated every surface between the rear of the pad and pistons. Guess I'll just re-apply and hope it keeps working this time.

try chamfering the edges of the pad slightly, new pads with old rotors, or old pads with new rotors have a tendency to squeal. make sure all of your slides are lubed too, just in case they are sticking, causing the pads to stay in contact.
