I pulled the rear wheels and the brake drums (had to beat them off) and found a leaking wheel cylinder that was contaminating the brake drum (picking up dirt) and several rake applications would clean the drum. i replaced the wheel cylinders 9(f one was bad, how long before the other) cleaned the drums and that cured the problem. I mention this because worn disc pads will generally give a squealing noise when the wear indicator meets the rotor. Also the master cylinder reservoir is in engine compartment, drivers side attached to the power brake booster (white plastic and may have a long curved neck with a screw on, yellow cap attached). Again, all explained in the Haynes manual.
