Squeaky rear brakes
Worked on mine today. It's a 08 GS SM5. Found both bolts had grooves in them. Took and polished the pins and added springs between the pads on both pins. So far no noise at all. Even backing up no noise.

Nice...!!
Grooved pins will keep the pads hung up causing the squeal. You found a great solution but make sure the springs will not keep the pads from fully closing or you will get uneven wear no the pads .

I think the grooved pins was most of the problem. Not worried about the shoes not seating. I can push the springs together with my fingers. The brakes puts out a lot of presser on the dish. Will see how they hold out. Was hoping to order just the pin, but only offered with the pads or bushing kit.

Great idea!
I'll try that! I've chucked the pins in a drill press and polished them, but the springs are a great idea! Next squealer I get, I will try it! Thanks!
