Re:soft brakes
BFH...big fuggin hammer! Probably rusted on a tad. Usualy just surface rust but with good whack or two they should pop off. I am going with leaking wheel cylinders. when you do get the drum off just take a peak behind the cylinder boots(dust covers). If you are losing fluid chances are the shoes are fluid soaked anyways.

Jerking...either warped rotors, sticking caliper bolt or a proportioning valve. Most likely just warped rotors. Does it actualy pull to a side or does it just wiggle the wheel and/or brake pedal. Heres a little test. Lightly brake from say 50mph if the steering wheel shakes I would suspect the front rotors are warped. Very common. Then do the same thing but lightly pull the E-brake and if you feel the car "bouncing" then its the rear rotors or drums whichever you have. Now if the car actualy pulls hard to one side check the caliper guide bolts. They might need a good cleaning and a lube. You can check this by jacking the car up without moving. Watch the calipers move on each side. One may not be releasing or grabbing. Hope that helps.
