I have a peace sports 50cc. My front brake handle is very soft and goes all the way down before barely causing any stopping force. If I pull the handle while I'm stopped I can still roll the bike .I was going to check the fluid in the resivor but one of the screw heads is stripped/rounded out.
Also the rear brake makes a high pitched squeaks.
How hard is it to rebuild the brakes on these scooters? Could I try bleeding the front brake out? Instructions would be awesome

Unless you can remove the screws and replace them bleeding won't help as you would have to add fluid when bleeding. Rebuilding the master cyl is more work than its worth. I bought a new cyl for less than $20 for a 50cc. I did take the cyl apart first and by the time you find the exact parts it just is not worth it. scrappy dog sells a nice one.
The rear shoes may be glazed. I would get your front brake working before you worry too much about the rear. Most of the stopping power comes from the front brake. How many miles are on the scooter?
