Perhaps someone else can point you in the right direction. If not, I think I have the pdf at home.

Also are you using the anti squeal pad inserts that stick to the back of the pads? Just asking because not everyone uses this.
There are discs that seem to be glued or attached to the pistons of the calipers. No other parts or grease or glue.
