    Could be a lot of things. Your hardware might be getting rusty, need some lube or something could be broken and coming apart. My guess is that your grease points are getting dry, but it could be something breaking and, consequently, a big safety issue. You're gonna have to pull it apart and take a look.

    I had some of that going on last year. The brake shoes rub the backing plates at three spots. Those little flat areas are supposed to have grease on them, but it dries up or gets rubbed off over time. All I had to do was pull the drums and put a little dab of grease on each of the three spots per brake shoe and it took care of the noise.

    You want to coat both sides the shims with a heavy moly grease. I use assembly lube. I also like to grease the ends of the pads where they slide on the bracket. I haven't decided yet on the best lube for there, but the heavy moly grease or a hi-temp grease should do the trick. For the guide bolts, use silicone (aka dielectric) grease.
