Do all that and make sure you use clean rags or paper towels so you don't just spread the oil around. With that done, use a little water and bed them in. Do not lock up the brakes or overheat them. Lots of easy rolling stops. As they bed in the noise will stop and the braking power will increase.
Thanks for this. Everthing you suggested has been done and guess what? No more gut wrenching sounds!!! Thanks so much for your help and advice.
