Also, brakes squeal loudly and shakes a bit when brakes applied.

Hello,

The squealing noise comes from the brake pad, they have a little metal tab that touches the rotors when they are worn. You get the shakes possibly for having wrapped rotors.
It sounds like you will need to change the brake pads and the rotors. You might be able to resurface the rotors if they are within specification.
The brake pads and rotors can be replaced by using basic hand tools.

Here is a helpful article:

I have attached the replacement procedure for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
