Rear Brake Operating Lever?

[spdway1]

How do I successfully remove the rear brake operating lever from the radius rods on my 30 AA
Then where do I find the bushing?
Thank you.

I think when you take the pins out the brake lever should slide out. Good luck on the bushings, I don't think anyone makes those.

If you are asking about the E-brake lever then it is as Reds34 describes, the service brake arm can be removed by removing the radius rod, however the bushings are inside the brake assembly, all the bushings are available from the Vendors.

The rear brake lever simply fits into a socket in the radius rod.

The emergency brake lever goes through the radius rod. The coupler connecting the e-brake lever at the backing plate must have the coupler to e-brake lever pin removed. Once removed, the e-brake lever should slide out of the coupler and out of the radius rod (along with the bushings).

This was an easy task for a new AA. However, for an 80 year old axle which has everything frozen up (including the pin, e-brake lever to coupling, and bushing to radius rod. This will likely require heat to free up the frozen parts (maybe the pin will have to be drilled out).

How different are the 30/31 bevel axle brakes different from the worm drive?

What kind of CORRECT bolt/pin/rivet hold the coupler together? Mine had pins jammed threw the hole, the other had bolts.
THANKS!
