Good stuff & I don't own the tools & stuff anymore but I've done it a number of times. This will help those who want to help
themselves & Do NOT put it off !! Get it done one way or another but fix the brakes ! peace

Well done. Try bleeding the brakes. Maybe air in the system making that noise.

I have done a lot of brakes jobs over the years! Def hard to even get a torque wrench in there. Just good and tight !

There’s a reason why the rotor and pads were unevenly worn. I highly recommend cleaning and lubing the sliding pins. They should be moving more freely.

i dont think they are the ones to make noice i think they are there to prevent the pads from squel when braking
