Got the brakes sorted out.. or so I hope. Had my "helper" press the brake pedal with the drum off. Very minimal movement from wheel cylinder. Turns out the lower piston was completely frozen in the extended position and the top was only moving a little bit. Couple of taps with a hammer got the top piston moving freely but the lower is seized pretty good. Gonna replace it tomorrow or Wednesday and hope that solves the problem once and for all.

I might not have 100% working brakes, but the word is, Yes. I'll be up there Sunday AM probably around 10am. Anyway to save me a spot?

Got the brakes 75% worked out. Had two partial frozen cylinders and the other was leaking. The only thing now not new on the brakes are the steel lines. Didn't break much either thank goodness. Broke one steel line and a front inner bearing. Will pick up new ones tomorrow and hopefully finish up on it Tuesday night.
