vuelta brake removal?
The rear brakes on my 1998 Huffy Ironman have the shoes frozen to
the brake, apparently unbreakably So the question is how to remove the ``Vuelta Europe'' brake There's a hex bolt that obviously holds the swivelling arm to its fulcrum. Removing the bolt appears to have no effect, and how the fulcrum part is removed from the frame isn't obvious (screwed in? can't tell). There's a brazed on (or something) piece of frame that holds it. How does this thing come off? Information is the first choice before escalating violence. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

These are presumably cantilever brakes, or possibly directpulls, so what you need to know is what the cantilever brazeon looks like: it's simply a post with room for a bolt inside and a smooth outside used as the turning point. You should be able to pull them off easily onjce you remove the proper bolt. Jasper |

I supposed that it was something about the spring that must be inside. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |
