I removed the calipers from the car and re assembled with no problem....until now. They brake properly and all that but the passenger pad is giving off the horrendous squeal as if they were cold track pads (they are not track pads). Will someone tell me the proper procedure for re-installing pads, springs? Am I assuming correctly by looking at the spring? These are the 4 piston brakes.

Assuming that the brakes were correctly reassembled you might just need some brake lube where the pistons press against the pads, either just on the end of the pistons or apply some on the area where the pistons contact the back of the brake pads.

You need to use some brake lube / anti squeak on the caliper pistons themselves. That way they will not squeak.
