Hello, I'm new to this. My front brakes are not returning after I pull the lever. I seen a post from fishslab that said he had a fix for it on his picture page but I can't seem to find it. Could someone help please?

 

The front drum brakes rely on 2 springs for the return...if one broke or became detached that would cause your issue. Also, they work on a pivot leverage system...that pivot has O-rings to keep grease on the pivot shaft and allow it to move freely...the shaft often gets "frozen" in the hub and needs to be freed up...

 

yea.. Take apart and grease #6

 

Once you get the pivots right, don't forget the cables, they can get to sticking too. Never sure if you should lube them (depends if they are Teflon lined or not, but how do you know?) Anyway, I recon if they are sticking, oil can't hurt, but if that doesn't work you may need new ones.

 

I'd bet no Teflon. I lube them.

 

Me too...although now I'm hydraulic!!!
