I did manage to tear into that rear passenger rotor today and found that my spring clip was rubbing up against the rotor so I think that was the source of my noise..but I did take the pads out and put some anti-squeal paste on them and drove around town.

The pedal seems better but still not quite as firm as I would like but I think the pads are still bedding-in.

I just managed to beat the rain with working on those pads. I didn't want to challenge the gods of rain any further by attempting to bleed the whole system.
