annoying squeak when pushing brakes near pedal

I recently noticed an momentary squeak when I apply the brakes. It immediately goes away. The location sounds like it's inside the cabin near the pedal. I wonder if I need to lub the hinge or something..

Now that I know it's there, it's kind of annoying. Anyone else with this? Thanks guys.

Ok, so do we oil the spring or hinge? Or do we grease it? Not a lot of help just saying what it is....

Good point - preferably grease. then you won't do it again in a long while

Very short term fix - no staying power & a lousy lubricant

had that problem with my clutch pedal and brake. It would squeak when I pushed it down

The dealership lubed it and that lasted for about a month, the cure was to replace the bushing, they replaced both and year and half later still not squeaking

Any general purpose Lithium number 2 grease will be fine.

You better not try it on the beach
