To renew the rear brake discs on a Volkswagen Polo, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the rear wheels. Next, detach the brake caliper by unbolting it, and then remove the old brake pads and brake disc. Replace the old disc with a new one, ensuring it is properly aligned, and reassemble the brake caliper and pads. Finally, reattach the wheels, lower the vehicle, and pump the brake pedal to ensure proper function before driving.
Most older Camrys have front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Each front wheel has a pair of brake pads that eventually wear out and have to be replaced; do not replace pads on only one wheel -- replace the pads on both wheels. Each rear wheel has a pair of brake 'shoes' that eventually wear out and have to be replaced; do not replace 'shoes' on only one wheel -- replace the 'shoes' on both wheels.
Many vehicles have a brake pad wear sensor on the wheels. Once the brake pads wear down the sensor is designed to make a really annoying, high-pitched grinding sound... just like the one you described. My guess is that you need brake pads.

Next, detach the caliper by unbolting it and slide it off the rotor; then, remove the old brake pads. Replace the old rotor with a new one, install the new brake pads, and reattach the caliper. Finally, repeat on the other side, reassemble the wheels, and test the brakes before driving.

Changing the brake pads on a Honda Accord is relatively simple. With a few simple tools, one can replace the pads in about one hour.
There has been some speculation that honda CRV's from 2006 to 2011 were using the defective accord brake pads where honda settled with the owners of the accords, as to why a possibility that crv's rotors were damaging the rotors with uneven wear before the pads got down to the metal. If one owns a CRV from 2006 to 2011, get replacement brake pads on all 4 wheels, so there won't be the possibility of future rotor damage from these defective pads, even if honda does not want to admit there maybe a problem with the pads.
Never install just one pad or set of pads on one wheel. Always replace the pads on the front or rear in pairs. In other words both front or both back wheels. To replace pads on the front or rear takes an expert around 1 hour.
