Hey, one more question guys. I don't have the tools right now to bend back my brake pedal and rarely use my rear brake pedal anyhow, so is there any issue (other than a lack of braking ability) from leaving off the rear brake pedal for a while? I'd like to ride the bike this weekend (been two...
I was able to remove the copper bushing last night. I took a 7/16 socket and tapped it out gently with a hammer. My socket wasn't long enough so about 3/4 of the way out, I just used the end of my socket wrench and hammered it out that way. Like an idiot, I had tried to use a pliers and pull...
I didn't realize that there was a bushing in there. I already put my brake pedal in and noticed that there was quite a bit of free play, is that because the bushing is missing? If so, I will check again when I get home.
I must be going crazy as I don't see a third one with a copper washer on my bike. There are only two unless I missed something. I have two holes with bushings that mount to the frame and the third hole accepts my brake pedal.
Which third one are you referring to?
Fazil,
I used the method that you posted with the two sockets last night and I was finally able to get them out. It took quite a bit of hammering but they finally came out and then I used a similar method to hammer them into the replacement part. I can't believe how tightly those things are...
Hi guys,
I finally got the parts in and am trying to replace this on my own. I think I may be over my head here :)
The part that I received seems to be missing two rubber grommet pieces that are currently in the old part, but I have no idea how to get them out. I tried hammering them...
Thank you to everyone who responded and I am happy that you guys were so willing to help. I haven't had such friendly responses on some of the other forums I've joined but my buddy who recommended me here said ya'll were a good group of folks. :)

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome and all the great responses.
I do have the brake pedal and it seems to be in good shape so I think I can reuse it.
I will browse through the site with diagrams that Oak posted and try to find what I need.
I will post back when I find what I am...
Hi guys,
This is my first post here and I am hoping someone can help me. I dropped my bike accidentally and broke the foot peg near the rear brake and bent the brake pedal.
Is this something that I can easily fix on my own? If so, can someone point me to where I can buy the part or the part...
