Thanks.
The brake was installed at the factory, this I know for sure. How would you suggest heating it? lighter? torch? I can do whatever.
What I don't have is a torque wrench. That should be easy enough to figure out though... 45lbs on the end of a 1ft long wrench = 45 ft-lbs of toque, right?
I did plan on getting a thread protector for it, which I assume will require a 9/16-24 threading based on research I have done. Any suggestions on which one to get? Does it make any difference as long as they cover the threads and crown and have a right size or larger hole?
