Pulling the pads out and making sure the hardware is clean and lubricated allows the pads to move freely within the caliper, preventing uneven pad wear as well.
A word of caution on lubricating the top, bottom and back side of the pads...Use ONLY HIGH TEMPERATURE BRAKE GREASE when lubricating these items! Also make sure the 'guide pins and bolts' are clean and lubricated too. Check for fluid leaks etc...
Hope this helps.

When was the last time either one of you completely flushed the brake fluid out of the system ? If you have had the same pads in the calipers for a number of miles, the pistons in the calipers can extend out far enough to stick or the pad can become 'wedged' in the caliper causing uneven pad wear. Flushing the brake fluid every year, helps keep moisture out of the system and prevents corrosion.

Mine.sounded that way for a while too it takes a few hundred miles for new pads and.rotors to break in and bed inAfter replacing the pads I am noticing sounds. It sounds as if my brake pad is in constant or semi-constant contact with the rotor. I'm thinking I may need a new caliper.
Did you make sure the caliper slide pins are lubed and functioning properly? The bottom pin has a tendency to get rusty.After replacing the pads I am noticing sounds. It sounds as if my brake pad is in constant or semi-constant contact with the rotor. I'm thinking I may need a new caliper.
