I have New On one ti 456 Hardtail - it came with Shimano Xt brakes on Shimano XT Splined Discs

I have moved my XTR brakes from my other bike that had standard discs and worked great

I now have squeely front brake Syndrome!!!!!!

Any easy/Obvious fixes?

Thanks

    Clean pads and discs, Make sure everything is tight. Reset callipers. Cross fingers.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    My front brake started squealing recently - I cured it by getting some decent heat into the brakes. A few big hard stops seemed to help
