Im always able to free up the brake pivot arms by spraying silikroil in where the arm goes into the housing and working the arm back and forth with a bfh and pulling on the cable alternately until its free. I never disassemble the rear drum and it seems to work.



Yeah, I know. Old post. But I am dealing with this right now. For the last couple of years I've gotten away with doing this every six months or so. But last fall they seized up on me (just the right side this time) only a few weeks after having hit them and having freed them up. So, I took care of that, but only a few days later the problem came back. So, now I think I need to actually take things apart and get rid of the corrosion. I also live in wonderful Minnesota.
