Replacing rear brake pedal.

[Athame57]

This is pathetic. I've replaced a rusty homemade rear brake arm with a shiny new looking one with new fittings to as well. Can I get my rear brake pedal back on? Can I find my Haynes manual when I never needed it more?
I'll swear I've done this recently too after all I replaced the kickstart seal. Lockdown amnesia? My problem is I can't put the brake pedal back if the footrest mount is there, nor can I put the footrest mount back if the brake pedal is there, just wondered do I need to take the kickstart off?.................help...save me!

You've got to locate it on the right spline or it won't go.  There's a dot punched on the pedal and on the shaft which helps to align them.   You may need to clean some crud off with wire wool to see them.

What goes back first?

Been a couple of years since I put one on but if I remember right, brake lever first but don't have the brake rod connected to the drum so you can push the lever down to get the foot rest on. I think you can also put them on together at the same time.

Thanks for that mike, all of a sudden everything fell into place.   I guess it helps to stop a while sometimes too, unless you want to blow a fuse!
