Check your bushings. Many are worn out. The service brake lever shaft is heavily loaded every time you hit the brakes. Many people don't lube this bushing. Too hard to get to, or they don't know it's there. Grab the lever and pull left to right, toward the other side. If it wiggles, you have to put in new bushings. Do the emergency brake bushings while you are in there. Put the lining on, measure your drums, and find someone with a machine who can arc the lining. Then keep them all together, marked very well. There are still shops that have the arcing machine. Jack
