did you clean them really good with brake cleaner and clean the rotor?

did you install the anti squeal shims?

finally did you bed them in?

Where do the anti squeal shims go on drum brakes?

No to brake cleaner. Anti squeal shims or bed is confusion - please elaborate

did not realize your scooter is old and has drum style brakes. so please discard the shim thoughts

How did the friction surface in the wheel look? Did you at least hit it with some sandpaper to break any glaze?
