Usually a disconnect then liberal amounts of WD40....maybe a rubber hammer to get it moving back and forth gently...until you can move it freely..

mattycoops43 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 If you can get the lever and pivot or mount separate from the master cylinder, just boil the whole lot in a big pan for 20 mins, will unseize anything! Obv don't want to boil the master cylinder, but if you can get it down to just metal parts it won't do any damage.Perfect for alloy to steel joins that frequently seize.

eastanglianbiker Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 the brake pivot passes through the frame if i remember correctly on these so it will need lots of wd 40 and gentle persuassion maybe a bit of heat as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
