Brake pedal squeaks annoyingly from under car when releasing foot off.

Try pulling up on the ebrake and then pressing and releasing the brake pedal. If the squeak is then gone, then it is definitely the linkage in the drums and not the pedal. Crashy2 was doing it and I though it was the pedal linkage, but found it was actually the drum linkage squeaking after doing the ebrake test.

Raising the ebrake causes the sound to go away when pressing and releasing the pedal. Then putting down the ebrake causes the sound. I raised and lowered the ebrake several times and every time when lowering the ebrake it makes the sound. Its definitely coming from the back of the car.

Is there an easy fix for this not so mechanically inclined individual?

Mine was really just a build up of brake dust. Pop off the rear wheels and the rear drum (with the e-brake off!) and blow the dust out, then hit it with brake cleaner. Might take some effort to get the drums off, mine did.
