: Your brake is probably rusted together. New brakes are the ones that have a better chance of becoming rusted overnight because a brake that has been used for awhile has an accumulation of brake dust in it. Try some oil on the shaft that the pedal is connected to,if this gets rusty it will prevent brake operation. And yes,the brake CAN become rusty overnight,especially new brakes like yours.

Apparently it was not rusted together. We tried the BFH. Did not work one bit. We ended up having to pull the casting off the shaft and discovered that one of the adjusting pins had broken - I could tell before the entire assembly was apart. There was sufficent lubrication inside and there was sufficient brake dust, so I don't think it had rusted.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to make sure the other side is oiled and am going to stop setting the brake for the night!

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c ...
