Hi,

I'm currently in the process of bringing my 2A back to life, it was last on the road in 2009, next on my hit list are the brakes, the problem I have is that after applying the brakes, the pedal stays depressed (and the brakes still on). If I hook my foot under the pedal and pull it back out the brakes release. Is this just a case of the spring on the pedal no longer being man enough or is it symtomatic of a mastercylinder problem?

Any hints greatfully recieved

hi I had this problem & it was the pivot pin that goes through the pedal had seized, knocked the pin out cleaned & regreased it & fitted a new return spring problem solved, hope this helps you

The pivot also has an oil bolt in it this can be replaced with a grease nipple to make lubricating it easier. 1/4" unf .
