No I did not replace the springs. Guess that's the next step. Also forgot to put some lube against that backing plate. Roger suggested the same thing when I spoke to him on the phone about it but I forgot as I had some surgery coming up that was done yesterday. Not as difficult to recover from as I had feared it would be. Probably will not be crawling under the car for a couple more days though. :-)
Thanks for the ideas.

: ...if not, you may want to try that. Those springs (and stuff) in there DO lose their tension after 25+ years. Also did you put a little daub of lubricant on the backing plates where the shoe "rubs" it? If not the shoe can 'drag' and not apply evenly on both sides...just some suggestions.
