If it sounds like its down at your feet lubricate the pedal linkage, regular problem. Spray grease is the handiest.

ok just spray all joints from the brake pedal with wd , been reading that could need to clean the pistons out or remove those angled shims has anyone done that , pads did have shims stuck to back them any way
