Riding the Brake Lever

[rboe]

Oh no, beating on it is not advised. Something that will give you good leverage (like my pipe wrench) that you can slowly bend that sucker over. If you have a good sized bench with a massive vise (I don't) you could remove the pedal and attempt to modify its' shape in the vise. Perhaps a length of steel pipe - but the front wheel would get in the way. As well as the frame and motor.

But no beating, no torches.

I never did price out a new lever.
