I'm wire wheeling the parts I care enough to remove the paint or rust. One of my e-brake levers is a little tight. I plan on dosing it with heavy oil and working it in once the backing plates have been painted.
I am also debating whether there is any real value in removing the camshaft lever.The camshaft seems to be in good shape. All other parts of the rear brakes on both sides have been removed. My only reason to remove would be to clean and lubricate it properly and also allow the backing plate to be repainted easily.
