Default Recon brakes freezing

I've been having a problem with my Recon brakes. After crossing water, in sub freezing weather, the front brakes freeze after it is parked. Does anybody have any ideas to other than drilling drain holes in the bottom of the brake covers so the water can drain? The brakes feeze so bad that doing wheelies and letting the front end come down does not break them free. I use it for hunting and there is no other way to access my property without going across a creek.

the only thing i can recomend is what i did for my foreman breaks. pull the breaks apart, replace any dammaged o-rings and use di-electric greas EVERYWHERE! aronud seals, bolt holes, ect. this has completly sealed the break drums on my foreman, even after sittin in water, none in my breaks.

theres my best guess on what you can do
