Brake reassembly questions

[leadpot]

Doing a complete brake job on my tudor. Practically all new parts, cast iron drums etc. Mainly want to know if any kind of lube is used in the floaters on the front or in the cams on the rear or should they operate dry? Anything used on the rollers? Grease or never seize?

Lube is your friend...
I use synthetic caliper grease on brake stuff

Yep, everything that moves should be lubed.

Even my arms are full of elbow grease.

Never sieze is not a lubricant for moving componets, it is a lube for things that don't normally move but you might want them to move once someday

synthetic brake grease, I have a can of Crest ectolube brake grease
