I had that same problem a while back with ma civic. THe squealing you hear is the sensor that goes off when the pad is worn down. If there is enough pad, the sensor (a piece of metal) wont touch anything and so u wont have any noise. Low pad = rubbing sensor.

It's fairly easy to change your pads just have a friend who's doen it b4 walk you through it. Or, you can search the NET for How-to's.

here's a good how to from twinturbo.net. They have some awesome write ups there. http://www.ttzd.com/tech/brakestech.html

It's not a 240, but brakes are brakes on just about any car.
