Phil,

Nothing to do with your brake binding problems but that universal joint on the actuator shaft is very exposed which will result in wear due dirt and water ingress
New reproduction cover kits are available for Max Merritt. They are well worth fitting.http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~dyndetail~Z5Z5Z50000022a~Z5Z5Z500484~P60.00~~~~S4I107WOXA10119120150G~Z5Z5Z5~Z5Z5Z50000022A

Those universal joints can suffer extreme wear to the point of coming apart, I wonder if your problems are related to excessive wear. Are they heavily worn?
