Default Re: Brake assembly, Roadster

Hello.

I opened the rare brake again. Because I have only just understood that in the drum of the cam shaft the cam piece must slide. I checked that. It's rusted very hard. It can not be solved. Hot air, creeping oil, copper hammer do not help.

The removal is very much expensive. Because the lever pins have been welded too on both sides.

The rollers turn loose and the brake pads are easy to adjust.

Does anyone see a problem to keep it as it is?

My idea is that the front brake must apply the greatest force. Since I'll install the equalizer in the front brakes.


Thanks at all in advance!
