Now that I know the emergency brake is a simple drum brake inside the hub of the disc it’s one of the first things I would have checked since driving and using the disc brakes didn’t effect the noise. Good honest mechanics are hard to find

Thanks for posting the result. Sorry you have to shell out $400 for something another mechanic missed.
