Hi all, having an issue with my brake pedal.. Finally after some time with a catalyst and pouding I got the shaft out and have the pedal out.. One would think with years the bushings would wear and cause play yet mine is a different story. This thing is sticky to beat the band. I cleaned the shaft up nice and attempted to assemble it on the bench and its so tight I would have to pound it back together..? I am going to pick up some new bushings just because I have it apart but I do not think that is my problem, anyone have this before? I was going thin out the shaft some but wanted to ask if anyone had a resolution before I messed with what worked for the last 50 years.. Thank you
