What kind of pads did you put on?

cheap pads could cause a squeal, or it could be a pad clip that is rubbing the rotor

you clean the rotors really well before putting everything back together?

i had the same issue with brand new pads. took them apart and here one has a small half inch crack that you could feel with a finger. so i scratched it smooth with a file to make sure that was the cause of the noise and it was. so i went and got new pads
