If thats the problem, then it should be easy if you dont mind a bit of spanner twirling. Just take the calliper off and clean it up. Worth putting some copper grease in the calliper runners too.
Does the noise get worse when turning? If so i could be the CV joint, as mine is suffering with at the mo.

Dont mean to worry you,but could it be the rear hub bearings slowly wearing out.
I found out recently upon renewing my rearsuspension arms the nearside(passenger) hub bearing was on its way out as I could feel a 'notchyness' when rotating the bearing plus I found that lubricating grease was drying out.The car had only coverd 107k miles.
