My baby's has been slightly sticking and no way to easily lube it. The main return spring would mostly return it but after the master cylinder return spring reached the end of it's travel, the leaver would stick there at times. The brake pads were back to their retracted position but that last little pop up against my boot, at times, bothered me. Removed the 2 hex cap bolts & the foot brake leaver & the complete assy pulls out so you can remove the 2 springs & the cylinder clevis pin. Pulled out the leaver pivot & saw why oiling the pivot hasn't worked. There's not any way for the oil to get into the complete bushing. Steel bushing & steel (plated) pivot pin could have used a grease fitting. Pivot pin has grease undercut in middle, so after cleaning assy, plenty of waterproof grease & reassemble. Man, those return springs are tough. Smooth as butter now. While I had it on my lift, did the same thing to the shifter pivot. You'll need a T30 torx bit, along with metric hex bits for that side. Be sure to use thread locker on the shifter shoulder bolt, as the factory did. Ready for another 4 years of greased lightening. Later,,, De
