About 6 months ago, or even less than that, I got my rear brakes completely replaced ( because the brake lines were leaking my brake fluid ). Anyway, so now that they have been fixed, they have started to screech really badly and grind a lot. I don't know if it is just the break pads? Please tell me I don't have to get my brakes totally replaced AGAIN!!

since you said pads in the rear, i have a few questions. what was replaced? calipers? rotors?pads? lines? and if the lines were leaking why was everything replaced? if lines were leaking. all that was needed was new lines. also, where the line goes into the caliper, there are 2 copper gaskets, were these replaced? screehing and grinding noises are indicitive of dust or rocks rubbing on rotor.something here doesnt sound right

If you had them done at a shop I would tell them what is going and see if they could check them for free. But unfortunately, without looking at them personally it is hard to diagnose. Usually a squealing suggest new brake pads. But if you have brake shoes in the rear then it is quite possible the braking components could have been installed incorrectly. I really suggest taking a look at them again. Good luck.

Brake fluid is largely a hydraulic fluid that enables a mechanical connection from the brake pedal to the brakes on the wheels, via a determination of twisty tubes. All fluids are fairly incompressible, so whilst limited to a rigid steel tube, the fluid acts like a stiff push-rod connecting the output of the grasp cylinder (linked to the brake pedal) to the slave cylinders (linked to the wheel brakes themselves). interior the previous days, a equipment of one or extra steel linkages have been given the rigidity from the brake pedal to the wheels. With brake fluid, the routing of that 'fluid' linkage can now handle approximately any shape mandatory alongside its path. There are factor(s) of brake fluid which act as reliable solvents, quite for automobile paint. gas and diesel gas even have solvent properties (diesel on asphalt is infamous), yet will frequently no longer consume vehicle paint. maximum brake fluid will.

If they are drum type brakes on the rear, I would say that one of the hold down springs has come loose. Need to take it back to your mechanic and have him check it.

You just probably need new brake pads.

The work should be still under warranty from the installing garage.

sometimes you get gravel or dirt in side them. You did not say if they were disc or drum. I think you will need to at least have them looked at. perhaps they can be cleaned and adjusted..Have fun today.

you might have some dust in them. it wouldn't hurt to go get it checked out.
