Rear brake pedal has seized on my Kwak, no matter the amount of force I put into it, it won't move up or down. The brake itself isn't locked up as the rear wheel rotates freely.

Any ideas what needs replaced?

If the pedal's jammed I'd probably start disassembling the master with a view to replacing the seals but on the way you'll probably discover what the actual problem is Smile

Would it be easier just to take the full master cylinder assembly off the bike and replace with a working one from ebay? I assume then you think it's the master cylinder and not something funky going on with the pedal itself?

a foreign object lodged in teh mechanism perhaps by a prankster? Especially if it happened all of a sudden like.
