Hello, I was hoping I could get some advice on my Brake issue. Originaly, I took both brakes apart and just cleaned them both. The brake boots were missing so neadless to say there was a lot of crud and insect homes inside. everything looked to be in rather good shape, even the pads. A few of the balls were a little rusted so I polished them up, the little springs all looked good.
Now when I use the brakes, it seems that I really need to push hard for the breaks to engage and once it does it REALLY engages fast and locks the tires. Once I release the breaks it lets go, I just wish I could get the brakes to work more smoothly and evenly.
Any suggestions. I don't mind taking everything apart again and fix, but just don't know what to be looking for. Do the balls, or springs ever go bad? Do I need to lube the balls with something, I am afraid too since they are the brakes...?
