hi riders & wrenchers

as we're overhauling the '84 state.
the po wasn't honest about
certain working parts.
the rear brake master cylinder
has seized brake line nuts.
we're tried penetrating fluid and
these little critters won't budge.
the master cylinder is leaking,
torn boot etc.

is there a simple way of releasing
the seized nuts please.
i can't use heat, due to the nearby
gas tank boom!

many thanks for your help ya'all!

regards

Angel

seized rear brake lines!

hi tt

thanks for your message lovely!

wont the bolts snap off with your
trusty pliers?
they're on so tight, makes my eyes
water!

the 10mm spanner i used today,
bent on attempting to release them.

I'm concerned about fracturing the
brake lines tt!

how tough are the bolts bud?

many thanks for helping me tt!

regards

Angel what a wrench!

seized brake master cyl nuts!

hi wingers

many thanks for helping me
with identifying the correct tool.
i did a search of fleabay and
found a good quality flared brake
spanner for £4 brit pounds +
free ship!

q) you've advised that the brakes
are a link system. so if you pull
the front brake, it operates the rear
brake. how does the
bike calculate the correct %
of braking?
i was taught to use 70% front
brake and then 30% rear brake.

q2) how do you bleed linked
brakes?

many thanks

rear master cylinder, linked braking and slow riding!

hi wingers!

many thanks for
all of your hints, tips and advice!

q) on linked brakes, how do
slow riding on a wing please?

on a bike without linked brakes,
i would use part throttle, slipped
clutch and rear brake.
with linked brakes, both brakes are
on?

first time riding a wing.
been riding all of my life.


many thanks for your advice!
