Spray the pins that go through the body with some penetrating spray

Ye the trouble is the dash is still on the truck and all I can see of the mechanism is the bit the motor goes to :/

just check your pads, and bleed the system daz, sounds like there might be some air in there, can sometimes happen after some time not being used
