grease the shaft
put first arm back on
grease where it connects to second arm
put second arm back on
screw the nut back on until there is no play, but it's not tight
screw on the lock nut and make it tight
pop the plastic cap back on
install fresh shoes
re-install brake.

Yeah I know probably doesn't need fresh shoes, but I am not going to rebuild a brake and put on old brake shoes.... The only problem with rebuilding brakes is that you get used to their lacklustre operation and after they work too well
You've got it, Wogsterca!

Good, it's part of the road bikes spring maintenance, the only issue now is, it's the back one that's acting funky, the front one is okay, but if I take the rear apart, I should do the front as well.....
