Simply remove the pins holding the caliper on and use the appropate brake lube. You can pick up the correct lube at you local parts store

Some cheap pads will squeal. You may need to change to an OEM type pad. It can also be you did not apply a anti-squeal high temperature grease to the back of the pads where they contact the caliber. Teflon coated shims are another option. Be sure and also check the slide pins to make sure they are not rusted. Apply a slight amount of high temp grease to these pins or replace if they are rusted.

The front and rear replacement process are very similar, but have different pads and shims.
