Unstyled L Brakes

[Matt F.]

How do I free up the brakes? The shaft going into the final drive is rusted, painted, froze up. Do I have to go into the final drive or can I try a little heat? What have you guys down to free them up. Thanks MATT

I would start with an Xacto knife and try cutting that paint out from around the rods to see if that helps. Then soak it where the rod goes into the housing. If that doesn't work, I would say you might need to break the final drive casing open.
