    I just changed the front brakes on my 98 Honda Accord. Now whenever I
    am backing the car out of my drive way in the morning the brakes make
    a squealing sound. This sound goes away in a few minutes once I have
    driven for a few miles. Any idea what could be causing this?
    Also, how do you reset the maint. required light on the 98 Honda? I
    remeber the 96 had a little button on the dash that you had to press.
    I think my mechanic forgot to reset it this time.

    did you use copper grease/similar on the metal part of the pad?

    Most likely the pads. Many aftermarket brake pads are noisy.

    I always buy Honda pads, just bought new pads for
    my 98 Accord, smooth and quiet. Stops in straight line,
    with no pulling.

    That question is impossible to answer because it depends almost totally on
    how you use the brakes. On my '96 Odyssey, the fronts lasted 70k miles and
    the rears went at 117k miles.
