My front breaks squeel somthin' fierce. Pads are at least 1/2 inch thick still. The only repair manual I've seen is for Dodge gassers by Haynes

Next time you have your wheels off, clean you rotors and pads with some brakeclean and ruff them up a bit by hand with some type of scotch brite pads or similar, a lot of squeaks are from glazing of the rotors that trap gasses that are trying to escape. It may be closer to time for brakes than you think but mine were 90% and sounded like a garbage truck untill the rotors were cleaned.

You might try and go to the car wash and spray out the brakes dust that will cause brake squel, but some time theres nothing that you can do to make it go a way!
having the brake rotors turned as smooth as posible will help, also a hi mitalice brake(life time brakes!!!!! ) will be prone to make noise easer the a organice or non matallice pads!!

I've heard of certain types of brakes making more noise than others. Is there any way to tell what type they are? I don't remember seeing anything special on the pads. BTW the "one at a time" comment was in good humor. Not trying to be a jerk.
