After a bleed,the front is squealing like crazy despite trying to burn it in.

My alignment is as good as I can get it,no rub at all and the rotor seems square when viewed against a white background.

I may...just may,have got some DOT 4 fluid on the pads due to being lazy :oops: Can't be sure though..

Would that cause squeal...or simply destroy the pads?

What else would make it squeal if not that?

ATM my only answer is to try new pads,I'm all out of ideas. Opinions/ideas/suggestions welcomed.

Dot 4 in the eye hurts. Trust me

    The hydraulic fluid will cause the brakes to squeal, clean the rotor (isopropyl alcohol) and try some new pads, as the pads will be contaminated.
