Finally took care of the squealing stock brakes.
Removed rotors and used 180 grit and then 320 grit to get rid of any glazing and to put on a nice crosshatch
Lubed with Sil-Glyde all of the brake hardware, to include back of the pads/shims and slider hardware
Flushed old brake fluid out and replaced with Lucas Oil Synthetic DOT 3 fluid
Bled brake system
Took it on a long test drive to bed the pads back onto the rotor's new surface. There was much better brake pedal feel and no more squealing! Hopefully the brakes stay quiet for a while. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of front and rear pad left. At 16k miles, I probably have another 16-20k miles left on them.
