            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.
