Now the brake is no help at all no matter how hard it is pressed. Man who installed brakes is no longer available to help. Any thoughts on what problem [ and solution is?] [Reply]   [No Email]

Sometimes the set screw that holds it in place will fall out, the drum/rotor/wheel slides sideways, and the key falls out. It just spins on the shaft whenever you press the brakes. Whatever's wrong, it has to come apart. Really it's no big deal. One cotter pin and six bolts, and the final drive comes right off. [Reply]  [No Email]

(unlikely) the brake band ma be worn down to the rivets. Good luck! [Reply]  [No Email]
