E brake seize to lube or not?

[webejeepin]

Had a funny squeak in the rear breaks decided to look into things this am. Looks like my passenger rear e brake was seized.

I had difficulty pulling the rotor and when I looked deeper I discovered that when I wiggled the e brake cable I frees up the slide that pulls the shoes in or release.

The red tube in this picture points to were it was seized.

To prevent this from taking place again should a guy put a very thin coat of calipar lube on this interface point or just clean it up as move on?

It's was kit this side that was seized and makes sense as after a good drive this wheel was very hot to touch the driver side was cool

Thanks

Put my common sense hat on and since the factory didn't lube it, I decided not to as well.

Cleaned it up sanded the area as best I could hit it with break clean cycled the hand brake many times....good to go.

And this to the list of thins one does when doing break maint or pads.

At least if the dam thing sticks again I will just crawl under and wiggle that dam spring loaded actuator.
