Worn Rotors

I have a 98 cl. I just replaced the front rotors and pads. Now the rear brakes are squealing but when i brake they stop then when i release they start again. Can anyone tell me of an easy way to tell if the rear rotors are too thin and need replacing? theres a way to gauge them but i dont know how. Also can i just replace the pads and be okay?

im not sure how to gauge them.. but u dont need to replace to the rotors everytime u fix your brake squeals..

just replace the pads.. and as long as the rotor surface isnt bumpy and cut up all over the place.. it should be fine

The rear brakes are always the first ones to go. The front brakes are only applied under heaving braking. The rears are used for everything. Odds are, you might just need to replace em. Take your tire off, and take a look at it.
