The front brakes on my Honda 3-wheeler are stuck in the "applied" position it seems. What can I do? what is involved in taking them apart? Lots of parts with springs that will fly out--I am worried about tearing into them. What should I expect? Its a 1985 model I believe. Help.:eek:

Its a very simple brake system, nothing will fly out and bite you. Set the bike up on a stand so the front tire is off the ground. Remove brake cable hardware, then remove axle bolt. Spray inner brake housing with Knocker-Loose if the hub doesnt seem to wanna come off, turning your brake arm back & forth until it frees up & brake hub is free to pull out. Once you got it opened up, youll see the rest is easy. also check your bearings and seals, sounds like this critter has seen alot of mud & water.
