Did any of that dirt in your cover get on the push rods with all of the grease??

That’s why you only want to use light weight WD40 or Kroll spray lubricant type to lubricate the helms and especially the Spherical bearing in the brake bias bearing......so it can easily be adjusted...as it will only turn when you take your foot off of the pedal.....

That big long globby thing is actually not dirt, it was a dribble line of RTV that was just gooed on there and had its origins somewhere in the bowels of ERA. All the rods looked nice and clean but you'll notice that I have "dual hose clamps" on the Tilton brake hose. The original tension clips were just not holding anymore after I had used a pad spreader to force a little fluid back up the lines. Instead of travelling all the way up to my pretty black Girling reservoirs the fluid took a shortcut out the tension clamp and they just would not hold anymore. Soooo, I relied on the tried and true screw tighten clamps along with the tension clamps. That worked. Half the fun of my car is just keeping her from leaving puddles in the garage.
