You normally do not grease brakes. The only time use use special brake grease, is when you are taking the pistons out to rebuilt the hydraulic seals. They it helps to use special brake grease to aid in reassembly, and to prevent water getting in past the dust cover.

You bleed all brakes the same.
First you top up reservoir.
Then pump pressure.
Then open the furthest breeder first, until pressure drops.
Repeat until clean and no bubbles.
Refill as you go.

2009 Suzuki swift hatchback automatic 40000km and squealing brake noise and engine light is on why?

The two matters are unrelated. The squeaking brakes are because you need new brake pads, if you have new pads... the mechanic failed to use brake shim grease which stops the squeak. In severe cases, the front disc brakes may be scored... scratched deeply and require replacement. If you replace the front disc pads, replace the rear brake shoes as well! The service engine light is timed by your dealer to remind you when to take your car in for a service check. Many models have a sequence of steps that one can find on-line to reset the service indicator light back to re-zero the count.

I changed the rear brake pads on 05 Suzuki Boulevard S83 and after pumping the brake pedal I still have no pressure in the lines to engage the brakes?

Bleed the brake system, or have someone familiar with simple hydraulic systems bleed it. Bleeding removes all the air from the lines.

Front brakes aren't releasing properly. How can I fix this problem? Is it a matter of bleeding the brakes?

Lets start with some simple things since you just put on new pads, I assume the brakes worked properly prior.
First, what kind of pads to you install? Some abrasive pads will make a grinding noise till they wear in. You can help this by filing a small beveled edge all the way around the pad surface.
Second, did you adjust the brake fluid level in the master cylinder after installing the new pads? After pushing the caliper piston in to install the new pads there may be too much fluid in the resevoir now causing a constant pressure in the lines. Place a towel around the master cylinder and remove the top. If fluid runs over the top you may have found your problem. Use a baster or syringe to **** out any excess fluid.

Front and rear brakes appear to have grease nipples but nowhere in the manual does it mention it.

These are for bleeding the air out of you hydraulic brake fluid...

DO NOT PUT GREASE IN THESE!

They are positioned at the top of the brake caliper as that is where the air in the caliper will end up. If you don't know how to bleed brakes, do not touch them.

I'm sure you can read about how to bleed brakes in most Haynes/Clymer type manuals, it takes time and patience. It maybe best to get a mate who knows what they're doing to help/show you the first time.

I was changing the front disc brake pads on my 2008 Suzuki Boulevard S50. I took the two bolts out that hold the calipers together which caused the fluid to leak out and a small rubber gasket fell out ....

You will need to buy a new rubber gasket kit for caliper from suzuki shop
It is not usual to pull caliper apart for pad replacement, normally unbolt caliper off fork leg and lift of the disk

Front disc brake is very spongy, sometimes it grabs properly but mostly the brake is useless (pads are fairly new)

Try bleeding it first. If there isn't any air in the system, you have a brake hose collapsing internally. Replace the hose, flush the system, bleed the air out and you'll be fine. Good luck!

The front brake on our 2006 Suzuki C50 seems to be rubbing the front tire in one place. It's not enough to slow the tire, but when we put it on jack and turn front wheel, we can hear it rubbing. Is

disc/rotor is warped in one spot, doesn't sound extreme...if it's buggin' you have it turned at a motorcycle shop, otherwise just ride my friend, it's not dangerous....Tim
