Hi! I'm doing a rebuild on the above bike (thread here: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=189112) and I'm running into some difficulties with the rear brake calipers. I've searched the forums but can't find the information I'm looking for.
The rear brake seized up a couple of months ago (part of the reason I garaged it in November). The drums appear to rather rusted (I don't have photos at the moment but can take some if necessary). Is this something I can fix? I've tried pulling the caliper apart but can't seem to get the bolts to budge. I've tried heat and penetrating oil.
So, a) is caliper with a rusted drum salvageable? b) if so, any further tips for getting the darn thing to come apart?
