I'm thinking that the one with disc brakes might just be worn to the point that they need to be replaced.
For drums, you might have a lot of brake dust causing the squeal.

I am having the same problem with my accord, except my rear brakes are drums. Is there a similar fix?

OK, thanks for the help guys. I am going to go buy some break grease and cleaner, let the car cool off, then lube that pin and use the cleaning fluid on the breaks. Will report back tomorrow and let you guys know if it worked.

Before you jack up the car, you should loosen the lug nuts. Put your wrench (or even better, breaker bar) on the lug and stand on it. That should break it free. Do that to all of the ones that you need to remove before you jack the car up because it's dangerous to put that kind of torque on them while the car is on jack stands. Also, I hope that you are not planning to work on the car only supported by a scissor jack .... for that matter, I've killed a scissor jack just by using it too many times to lift the car to put it on jack stands. My cheap 2-ton floor jack cost $40 at Strauss. It makes the work soooo much easier.

lol, no I didn't stand on it. I oulled on it with both hands and threw my body into it. I'm not exactly the weakest guy, I regularly strength train so I was like WTF. I'll give it a go later today after I get my inspection done.
