Take a brake!

I knew I had driven a little to far with a bad back brake, but that it was so bad that the pipe gave in was unexpected. What I first thought was an easy fix (a bad hose) showed to be a lot more.

Starting with the pipe, I first thought about a joint somewhere in the rear, but since it's so easy to draw it the whole way up to the front, I did so.

Then came the new hose.

Finally, so I thought, a little massage of the yoke and we would be on our way again. But the piston was stuck. I mean, stuck! First I brought the yoke to my workbench, but I could do little. After a while I gave in and went to Daniel, again, who was able to push out the piston with high pressure grease. Air didn't work. He then polished everything into new and mounted new seals.

And the braking? What a difference!
