Sorry for asking so many annoying questions, but can you guys please explain how you are attaching the OEM fiber shim? Are you using any grease or glue between the metal shim and the fiber shim? Or just simply placing the fiber shim on top of the metal shim?

Also, the service manual shows how to remove the piston boots

So this weekend I finally got around to re-installing the brake pads with angled shims, and I'm still experiencing the squeal (although it seems to happen less???).
For the front pads, I installed the angled shims with the arrows facing down. Is this correct?
One thing which I just realized, is that I didn't grease between the angled shim and the regular shim.
I think I'm at the point where I'm going to just have to go to the mountains and completely burn in the brakes. I've heard of stories where people say after a few thousand miles the squeal goes away...
I'm also wondering if this one rotor has some imperfections that is causing the issue because I only hear it from one wheel.

Yes, lubing in pins & plates may help. And maybe a re-bed is in order

I use multi-purpose grease I buy in tubs at any auto store. The grease quickly loads up with brake dust and dirt, becoming an asphalt like material. Plain grease and the angled shims are all I've needed for quiet brakes.
