In the old days (when you found disc brakes almost only on foreign s****ts 
cars) there was a lot more brake squeal. (We never did cure it on my 
friend's Fiat 124.) The back yard fix was to lightly sand the surface of
the 
pads, just enough to remove any glazing they might have acquired. Then the

leading edge of each pad was sanded to slightly bevel it, just enough to 
remove the sharp corner. It usually worked, at least for a while, and the 
best part was that the fix was free.
