    That's par for the course for Jack brakes - but make sure you grease the slider pins regularly or they'll seize solid

    Yes. They get moisture in them and seize. They should be cleaned and re-lubricated regularly.

    The fact that the brakes don't wear means you tend to ignore them which exacerbates the situation. There is an upper and lower one, take care to replace in correct position as they will fit the wrong way.
