Hi guys,
The brakes never worked since purchasing a GX75 this year. When tightening the brake adjuster made no difference, I started to take the brakes apart. Removing the brake lever and lever guide, it appears I have a brake system with the caliper underneath and designed to be one unit with the transmission.
Evebtually, after reading around, I read the two pins, sticking out either side of the brake lever actuator bolt, should be removable. They are not. After 24hrs of soaking in penetrating oil and a couple of taps with the hammer and they are still frozen stuck.
Any suggestions please or am I barking up the wrong tree trying to get these pins out?
I have a replacement brake rotor and new pads on the way. Im a little bit unsure how this brake system comes apart as the rotor seems fairly attached to the transmission (as it probably should be in order for the brake to be able to stop the mower).
Any advice would be helpful
