Hi .
First of all do you have any brake pads left it sounds like metal on metal. I would be going somewhere to check as if it is the backing from the pads witch is metal that will eat into your disks and destroy them witch will require new pads and disk rotors. I am a mechanic and even I have done this .
If your pads are ok you might have a rock stuck some where and is quite common in drum brake found on the rear of most old cars. hope this helps

I can hear them grinding form here. Most likely the brake pads backing plates are rubbing directly on the brake rotors. Pull a wheel off and inspect the thickness of the brake pad material. If it's less than .060 it's time for new pads. If the baking plates of the pads have been grinding on the rotors new rotors will be necessary. Forget the off-shore cheap junk. They are cast very thin and machined very close to throw -away thickness, the metallurgy is poor, they rust and corrode easily, and finally warp like a son of a gun.
It's going to cost more money but American, Canadian or British will perform better than the trash that comes from Taiwan and China.

Well the brake pads are worn down to the metal and grinding into the rotors. You need to have that fixed....YESTERDAY!
depending on what kind of vehicle you have. instead of just replacing pads ($35.00) now you are looking at replacing two rotors also. You are not far away from total brake failure so dont drive this vehicle until you have it fixed... When you fix it It would be a good idea to check the rear also.

So we could see, your sons g6 (worst vehicles on record for customer comments) wont bypass in kit so which you cantcontinual it. however the brakes make noise whilst stepped on halfway. the only component that could make a noise on an identical time as not transferring stands out as the booster, yet that doesn't make a grinding noise.

That sound most likely means your brake pads and/or Shoes are worn down to the little metal studs. That is a sound of metal studs rubbing against your rotors. Replace pads and brake shoes. It is relatively cheap.

You waited to long before replacing the brake pads. You need new pads and maybe you can salvage the brake rotors by having them turned.

Brake pads are worn out
Possible rotors are junk too

Yeah...
Discs and pads.
The pads are so worn out the studs that hold it all together are grinding on the disc instead of the pad.
The next time if you keep an eye on the pads you can save your discs... $ (change them earlier)

Think you meant "Brake". Yes, your brake is over used, now, may be steel against steel. You need new rotors and new pads.

Get new pads right away or you'll ruin your brake rotors.
