its the inside pad on the caliper piston... clean the back of the pad and the piston , then put a dab of silicone on the pad where it makes contact on the piston. put it back together. lock the brakes if you have a park brake for about a hafe hour. then release. and adjust the adjustment screw in on the back of the caliper til the brakes start to drag , then back off a 1/4 turn. do each wheel. then your done. no more clacking.......

Take the two bolts off holding the caliper on. pull it off. the pads are on two pins. squeeze the piston back in the caliper. you can do this with a pair of channel locks. pull the slide bracket away from the caliper. it will slide on the pins witrh rubber sleeves . you will see what i am talking about when you get it off. slide the pads to the open ends of the pin , you will see there is just enough room to slide the pads off......
