oh lord here we go again! i had to free up 2 of these sometime last year and it was a pain. i tried finding the thread on this but i'm not to good with the search feature.

i tried soaking the brake in Coleman fuel for 2 full days which seemed to start breaking up the carbon, then somebody suggested i soak it in PB blaster which i did and still couldn't free it up. i even tried using a torch on it and that didn't work so i soaked it again for another day in PB blaster. somebody else suggested putting as large a nail as possible through the holes and grab it with a hammer like pulling a nail. well i heated up the brake once again and tried pulling the nail with the hammer and finally there was some movement! i removed the nail and kept working the brake back and forth and finally it came free. the second time was easier but still a pita!

now when i go shooting i turn that sucker on and off frequently to keep it from seizing up again. so far so good!
