Well, what I would have done, back in the day, would to have taken the wheels off, pull the caliper, pull the pads, scuff up the surface of the pads, check the rotor for any signs of abnormal wear then put it all back together.
So, I'm forgetting something, but that's the reason I'm not doing my own work anymore. Today, I would drop the car off at my local shop and tell them to fix my squeaking brakes. They would run me home, in my car, and we would discuss the situation as they were squeaking. I would then take a nap, wait for their call and they would come pick me up when the car was fixed. I would pay them and everything would be all better.
PS - I'll pass on the invite to correct you - I know I'm retired, but I still don't have THAT much free time -
