Removal of the brake pivot pin
 

I'm about to start splitting my CC 100 and was wondering if there were any tips on removing the brake lever pivot pin? Thanks

Very carefully!!
You DO NOT want to bust the 2 cast iron ears or you will really be screwed.

Okay, so I appreciate that heads up. Do you use a punch to drive the pin out?
A reminder, this is my first time to work on a CC. I'm just wanting to ask before I screw something up. Thanks

Make sure you remove the adjusting bolt (that thing with the square head) COMPLETELY because it goes through a groove in the pin. That's what holds the pin in.

PB Blaster it up real good and tap lightly with a punch. Work it both ways a little at a time.

So am I correct I should split the tractor then take out the pivot pin and brake lever? I this correct? I'm doing all this to do the brakes on this 100. Thanks

you wouldn't necessarily have to split the tractor to get the pivot pin out, but what do you mean by "do the brakes". If they are not working, most likely the cause is that the piston is rusted up in it's cylinder. That will not be a fun thing to get loosened up, and will most certainly be easier to work on out of the frame.

Thats why I'm splitting. I need to replace the pucks and oring on the piston.
