    Default Brake balance Adjuster

    I have a Tilton type balance bar in my car. The adjustment appears to be "sticky". I am assuming that this is from crud in the tube. I also am assuming that the only effective way to clean it is to take the pedal loose from the floor, unscrew the M/C push rods and then disassemble, being careful to measure everything so when it is put back together, ii is not all out of whack?

    Right?

    Default yes, and....

    Clean and lube the cable. And check to see that the stickiness is not a result of the bend in the cable having too tight a radius.

    I didn't have a list per se, but I made one up from some of my past winters' work lists and it's now posted.

    Here's a link to my thread with the checklist: https://www.apexspeed.com/forums/sho...ntenance)-List
