Phak 1, Thanks for the links on hardware kits. That's what I'm looking for.
I'm also going to bleed the system thoroughly per the Shop Manual and your link and see where that leads me.

KEVINSKI, Yes, the pic doesn't exactly do situation justice. I have repositioned shoes several times around anchor pin and they do the same thing again.

Jon G, Our flex line was DEAD and we did replace it. As well, we had to replace the steel line from the divider block around the battery box back to that flex line down to the axle.

ALL, considering how much of the system we've worked or replaced, is it possible there's just still some air in the lines or in the Master Cylinder somewhere causing this issue???

Thanks to all for the help and suggestions.
