Not sure if it works for disc brake pads but for brake shoes you put
plugs of 2B pencil lead (Graphite) in the leading edge of the shoe. I use
2mm clutch pencil leads. Just drill a 1.99mm hole in the lining a break opff
a piece of lead in each hole. Two rows of holes, staggered to cover most of
the width seems to do the trick.
This was a Rolls-Royce recommended procedure on drum brakes. The
graphite lubricates the lining enough to prevent the stick/slip that causes
squealing.
