If Ultradog's suggestion doesn't work, you may have to play with the pawl (the toothed piece that the T-handle moves, that engages the other toothed piece attached to the left brake pedal arm). Mine had developed excess play and the pawl would slide sideways on its shaft so that it was binding with the pedal arm. I added a couple of washers on the shaft to keep it lined up properly. Works great now. [Reply]  [No Email]

It took a bf screwdriver to get it to release. The brakes are set up with the pawl that connects both brakes at the same time. I may try releasing that for awhile. Thanks for the info [Reply]  [No Email]
