hey guys, new to the forum, and already need your help.

just purchased a 2000 foreman 450es , the original owner is 70 years old, and didnt do a single bit of maintance to this bike, i just got it, and it has no brakes at all, the front you have to pump, but go back down.

the rear, both the foot and hand break/parking break are froze, i removed them to find water in the rear.

now the foot brakes cable is fine, but the foot brake itself is frozen on its peg, you can stomp it, but it will not comeback up unless you knock it up with a hammer.

This is my question, how can it be removed??? ive tried a few different pulley style removers without any luck, can anyone help???

 

isnt there a cotter pin on the foot brake shaft? there should be i don't know what kind of puller ur using, but u should have seen the cotter pin, remove the floor board and it should be very clear to you how to remove the pedal

 

Lots of WD-40 or something like it.....just tap on the side of it away from the end of the shaft......it will break loose.

 

Thanks guys, finally got it off, had sand and muck all past the seal, took some heat to get it off plus a pully puller we rigged up, but it polished out well and now works great, thanks guys!
