[QUOTE="2busy, post: 4059933, member: 12213"] I'd have to remove it to drill , but thought about it. I'd just wait for the new one if I went to the trouble of taking it off. These old ones look pretty sprung. Rides like a hard tail. I heard something pop and the left brake locked up. Figured something brake related broke. Couldn't get the brake hub off , couldn't turn it with a pry bar. Ordered a universal hub puller and it finally came today. Once I got the hub off I couldn't find anything wrong with the brakes. Tried backing the adjuster off but hub still wouldn't go back on. Finally seen spring broken and the front shackle end resting on the brake cable putting tension on it. Had to pull the pin on the cable to release the brake. [/QUOTE]
