In the days before it wasn't politically incorrect, I always used freon to shring the offending part. I've found that dry ice, although less convienient, works just about as well. Put a small chunk o

Try the "dry ice on the shaft" trick I suggested a couple of days ago. To make it even more effective, you can heat the hub up before you use the dry ice. :) ~alan '71B Reply to: Alan Lott GTA, Aubur

Likely no problem on the pump, especially if its not making any noise. Just keep the radiator topped off. The water is probably coming from the "weep" hole on the underside of the pump nose, which is

It could be the bushing in the handle mechanism itself. Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to get that assembly out without removing the seat. If you can get the cable loose from underneath, you

If either of the rear brakes is locking up before the front, you might give some thought to the brake proportioning valve. I can't say I've ever heard of one giving a "soft pedal", but I suppose it's
