If the pads are actually worn down, then by all means, change them. If they are NOT worn down but are squealing anyway.....putting on new stock pads may not make any difference.

Re: Changing the Brake Pads!!!
its easy, when you install the new pads make sure they sit properly where they are supposed to.

Re: Changing the Brake Pads!!!
After market brake pads wil generally give better braking performance and might cure the noise problem. If the present pads are in good shape wear wise a very light sand blasting will remove accumulated glazing and crud. Very Light.
