I took apart front caliper a couple weeks ago,cleaned it all up,and put a thick piece of duct tape on backside of each pad as Mark suggested.Not the slightest squeal anymore.For the life of me i cant figure it out :scratch: (glad the eardrum shattering squeal is gone!)

I hate to publicly tell people "get the duct tape out."   :embarrassed:  But hey, if it works it works. There are probably brake products out there meant for this application. I think the tape stops high frequency chatter between the steel pad backing and the piston. It may not last long or who knows, it just might.
