So now I have pulled the brakes apart on both sides and am going to do a complete overhaul. My LH brake was acting up a bit this past summer and with the RH one not working at all I figured I might as well tackle them both.

Anyway this was the condition of the insides when I pulled them apart. Notice the non-orginal springs at the top. Two small ones were used to make the correct length and were joined by a washer.

I have also pulled the adjusters off and will get them cleaned up. Both them and the expanders were caked in 60plus year old grease and dirt. I couldn't make many of the bits move by hand pressure so it amazes me the carrier drove the way it did over the last few years.
