I was replacing my bent rotor when I noticed the exact Squeak that I use to hear (sometimes) while applying front brakes. I do not know if this is the Same squeak that I use to read about here on the forums. But maybe it is ? The pins fill full of brake dust and rub on the hole in the brake pads. The clip shown here was also packed. While I was removing the pins each turn gave me the same high pitch Squeak. My pads were worn but not that bad. All clean now. No squeak on the re-installation of the same pins with the new pads. The new pads are made of a different material I hope there is less brake dust. The new pads have their own new noise. Go figure. I hope this helps. Cheers.

Looking straight on, the pads shown here in my hand, left side is stock right side is new. The new pads do not have the grove cut into them.
