Replacing Presage TU31 rear brake pad

Sqeaking noise was heard recently at high speed. It will disappear on braking briefly. Inspection revealed rear pad wear to limit of less than 2mm.
The top 14mm screw of the clamp is removed. The  clamp is flipped open and the cylinder is pressed inward gently. The old pad is removed and the back plate is priced out. New pads are dropped in and the clamp is flipped back. The 14mm screw is put into place. Note there is some grease at the screw tip. I put some blue loctite at the socket end as some corrosion is noted.
