Default Clicking noise when braking

Just finished a DIY brake job.

When I brake the brakes "click" in fact, I thought I might have a flat tire.

I suspect that it may be that I didn't grease it enough, would lack of enough grease make it this loud?

What kind of pads were you using...did they have shims on the back?

Also (did a DIY the other day on this), did you lube the pins/bushings?

Where were you greasing it?

Akenbono ProACT ceramics. And Yes.

I greased everything, including the clips, but I forgot about the primary pin, which you outline in your DIY.

I think I need to go back and do that.

BTW - I did a deep scrub of everything with break cleaner, before relubing it with a silicone lube
