[Shotimes] weird brake squeal *or* I don't know how to put pads on

[Jason Hartberger]

When I put my new struts on the front of Annabelle (thank you everybody 
for helping me out with it! except for destroying a half-shaft [LH], it 
went really well...), but when I was replacing said destroyed half-shaft 
and put the pads back in the caliper, I don't think I did it right. When 
I took the caliper off, the pads just fell out... I know I put them back 
on the right side because one of the pads had a big piston impression on 
it... but I couldn't get them to stay in there and I kinda just threw it 
on. Well, now that it's all back together, the car still stops fine 
(better then before... :|)  but it makes a weird grinding sound. It 
doesn't change at all with brake pressure, so I think the pad(s) isn't 
aligned right within the caliper. Is there any easy way to set the pad 
in the caliper so it doesn't make weird sqeaky noises? Thanks...
