Rear brake lever.

[Ncboost]

Ive been noticing that my rear brake lever doesnt disengauge all the way. I have to pick it up with the toe of my shoe while riding. Kinda annoying when its been dragging for awhile and you don't notice it. I took it apart and it has up and down play as if the bushings are worn but there isn't any replaceable bushings. Anyone ever deal with this, I was just going to order a new lever to try but there $63 and I'm not even sure if it will solve my problem. Ive lubed it and one last thing was to find a really stiff spring to try before buying the lever.

Thanks for your help in advance

What exactly did you lube it with? The procedure for that problem usually involves removing the lever from the hole in the frame, cleaning any rust, and lubing with a marine grade waterproof grease. So you did all this and still have a problem?

Yeah I cleaned it and lubed it with grease and still have the same problem. It has a lot of play up and down play though.
