Replace the wheel locator pin with a 10mm bolt. It's a pain to heft the tire/wheel onto that stupid bolt which dowen's serve any purpose now that wheel balancing is computerized.
I haven't used backing plates for centuries. Either Volvo's synthetic disc brake grease or Permatex Disc Quiet on the backs of the pads is all I use to prevent squealing.
You need to press the caliper pistons back into there bores to assure free movement and to wet them again with brake fluid to prevent future corrosion. Sticking pistons is the single most reason we all experience rotor warpage.
Be patient while installing the second of the two anti-rattle spings on each side. I swear they seem to be shorter than the originals that I just took off the cr, because they always want to catch on the pins, instead of latching "above" them.
I use a small screw driver to press it tip of the spring down behind the pin so I can finish inserting the pin through the inside hole for it. (I install both pins through the outter pad, outter spring, inner pad then latch the inner spring on the lower pin. Finish inserting the lower pin. Use the screwdriver to force the upper tip of the inner spring deeper into the caliper to allow it to slip behing the upper pin as you finsh inserting it into the hole.
Carreful! That spring will fly off a couple of time until you get the hang ot this!
