Thanks for all the hints& tips... shop-vac is now being chained to wall
in basement <g>
Anyhoo, I discovered that haynes had a solution for stuck brakes; it even
gave the correct causes:
Cause Reason Solution
--------------------------------------------------
neglect handbrake stuck apply 'Plus-Gas' to free, clean and lube.
Just what is Plus-Gas? It sounds like some sort of miracle cure for
stuck brakes... it would have been handy to just 'apply' it and watch my
brakes be unstuck. As it happened, I freed the drums by backing off the
ajduster and whacking them with a big piece of wood.
Other strange English words it uses:
'grease gun filled with HYPOID oil'- is HYPOID oil just a big name for
'grease'?
'apply Wellseal to the threads'- I take it that Wellseal is either akin
to Loc-tite or Teflon tape; however, the two products are different...
Also, I can't get the soft-top to budge (haven't forced it yet); I want
to know how to properly remove it, can anyone coach me thru...
Thanks,
-Malcolm
