So today I tackled the front brakes. I got Bosch pads, wear sendors and vibration dampers from Pelican and also read the various brake pad replacement threads thoroughly.

Everything went smoothly except for one issue. On the outer side of the right front caliper the old vibration dampers were thoroughly stuck in the caliper pistons. After prying on them for a while the backing plate broke away and left the dampers still in the pistons. I installed the new pads anyway and am a bit concerned that I will get squeals since there's nothing to pull and hold the pads away from the disk.

The same happened with the bigger damper thingy on the inside of the left caliper. Here I unscrewed the thingy from the new damper set and installed the damper with the pads. I did remember to remove the backing from all newly installed dampers.

So my questions whether I should buy some anti-squeal glue and bond the pads to the pistons? Any other suggestions?

I am going to rebuild or replace the calipers next time I do front brakes. By that time the disks will be down to the minimum thickness.
