John. Thanks for the input. I just posted a new thread with my dilemma but I think you helped me with what I should do. If I got your reply sooner I wouldn't have made a new thread, although I think it may spur some conversation.
I am going to stick with the Huck brakes because I don't have a prius or a man-bun.
Going to inspect all the parts today, I know at least 1 spring is broken and 1 drum should be replaced along with all shoes.
