Default Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Dragged the SV out the garage quite literally had to drag it out, rear brake was stuck on.
Found the pedal and footpeg had seized with the pedal down (some pipe had fallen on it in the garage) peg and pedal stripped down, cleaned, greased and put back together thought all was good tried the brake only to find then master cylinder was now stuck locking the rear brake on again.
Slight panic now as the MOT is booked for Tuesday afternoon and the chances of finding a replacement before then are non existent
Disconnected the m/c, blocked up the rubber hose feeding it and pumped 95psi into it and heard the cylinder move, pushed back in and then the air treatment again, did this a few times with the amount of psi decreasing each time.
All back together again, brakes bled and jobs a goodun

Just need some new indicators for the rear as they have a few dead leds in and then its mot time
