Hello fellow Austineers,
I used to follow the old forum and signed up for this new one at the time of the changeover but for various reasons everything Austin 7 has been on hold for a few years although I have been collecting various parts towards the rebuild.
I am about to unwrap my 1933 chassis with a view to to refurbishing and I know the first job will be to un-seize the brakes cross shaft.
So can I ask what is the best procedure / order of events to do this - will it be a case of a lot of heat WD40/oil and brute force or is there a better or preferred way of doing this?
I realize this is old hat but would appreciate a little wisdom.
Thanks,
Steve V.
