brakes squeal

we recently took the benz to have the pads changed out, and now a couple months later they started to squeal right before you come to a complete stop. Is there anything I can do or will I just have to do a reinstall of the pads and put more paste on the backing plate?

200+ views and no ideas?

Is there other ways to correct it or is this not even a good idea taking them apart and putting it back together?

Depends on pad quality. If its super dusty, a car wash might be all it needs.

Doh.. I was hoping there could be another option. For some reason I had this notion that reinstalling your pads was a bad thing or wouldn't stick as well because they had the old paste/dirt on it.
