I redid my disc brakes on the ol' SM because they were occasionally sticking. Found corroded balls, lots of rust and some broken springs. Pads/discs themselves are nearly new. Cleaned, bead-blasted and replaced parts as needed. Adjusted links to the pedals per the blue ribbon manual.

Those with experience with regard to this, please feel free to share your knowledge.
As always, thanks to all respondents in advance.....
