I got it spinning last night. But still with lots of friction.

I watched a couple videos of the brake upgrade job and other than some $$ to get the kit, it looks pretty darn straight forward.

I think I’m gonna try the brute force method again tonight and see if I can get into the brake housing. Assuming I can, I’m going to clear it out for this trip up to the cape (the other axle still has working brakes) and maybe just order the kits to be delivered out there.

I wish I had posted about this last year... the project doesn’t look hard to do at all!
