Try putting some copper grease on the back of the pads that will stop the squeak

Jack car up, wheel off, undo caliper bolts, carefully remove caliper making sure you don't kink the brake line, remove pads from caliper, apply copper grease to rear of pads. To refit to the reverse.

It's worth noting that you'll probably need a piston rewind tool if you're going to do the rears.
