Hi. I had some old pads (think they were OEM ones) that came with calipers when I bought them so putted them on, plus I swapped the pins round and... SORTED :-)
Try to clean the pins first (I've used a sand paper and polished them) and do what I did, swap them round to be 100% sure that pins are making that noise.

I didn't replace the pins yet but defo will have to do it soon because pads I've got fitted at the moment are not really good :-(

Oh, don't forget about Copper Grease !

All you have to do is just take the wheel(s) off and get the pins out. No spanners needed 'cause you don't do any work on calipers.

do you think pads stick on the pins?
if pins are shiny the pads slip/slide more easily?
