Rotors should last through at least two sets of pads.
Brakes squeal when they're not properly lubricated. They should be lubed at least every 20k miles.

Echoing the same recommendation. At 45K miles, rotors may very well be ready to be replaced. Rotors are not expensive. Visit FCPEuro.com to compare prices for OEM or OEM-equivalent Zimmermann rotors.
