bad rear brake springs

[MedicMoe]

Remember a while ago I said my cylinder was leaking and the brakes were sticking on the driver's rear? Well we finally got it apart and found that I had 2 broken springs on that side, as well as he leaky cylinder. when I got my new cylinders from rock auto ( 3.00 each on a close out) I also bought a new spring kit because it was only 3.00 as well. I am sure glad I did. Now everything is nice and tight. shoes were in good shape, and the rotors were smooth. So I have all working rear gears for only 9 bucks! thanks rock auto.

I hope the shoes didn't have much fluid on them. If they did, there is no really good way to clean it off, and after driving it awhile they will get gummy and that wheel will start locking up when you apply the brakes.

shoes were dry. Most of the leak was around the back of the plate. I am missing one spring that goes onto the e-brake cable to the self adjusters.
