    When you install the pads, you should apply some silicon brake grease to the backs of the pads and around the pins that connect the two halves of the caliper assembly.

    You can pick up this stuff at an auto place (Autozone).

    Another thing you can do is get brake pads that have the rubber-like shims on their backs. This will help eliminate the vibration that causes squealing.

      so do i have to remove the calipers again to spray the grease directly on the pads or could i just take off the wheels and try to get it up in there?

        Yeah, you'd have to take apart the calipers again. The grease has to be applied between parts that come in contact with each other.

            depending on the squeal... theres a possibility its a wheel hub. my wheel hub would squeal pretty bad and it was pretty embarasing. it was around 150 bucks just for the hub.
