&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;I want adjust my rear brake on my forwards. Trying to get the brake lever as close to me as possible so I can get more of a reach on the brake. I tried to turn the nut on the end of the linkage. but it dont want to turn either way.

 

Anybody..

 

Probably got red locktite on it. Try and heat it up with a heat gun or a torch, that will break it loose. Careful you don't have to get it red hot.

 

You do have to loosen the nut closest to the rear wheel first, i believe. Then you can adjust the first nut, closest to the engine. I may have it backwards, but you get the idea, right?

 

Heres some pics. Do I need to loosen the odd shaped bolt on the cylinder first? Then the nut to the left. (Won't let me upload the pics.. damn it.)[:@]

you need two wrenches, then break the loctite loose and open it up at the linkage... you can typically get an extra in though this... post pics and i can draw on them to show you what i mean

you hold the part right out of the cylinder and break the bolt loose, then spin the bar... it has been so long since i have done this for someone, i am racking my brain to think if i missed something... then just tighten the set screw again

So I have to remove the linkage bar from the brake pedal and turn the bar? Thanks in advance.
