Spray some lubricant on the foot brake where it mounts

The pedal on my Deuce stuck like that. I discovered that it had been assembled wrong and had no lube on it. There is an o-ring in there and a plastic bushing on the stub the pedal is mounted on. Water got in and rusted it, making the bushing/pedal tight and stick. I had a hard time getting the pedal off, replaced all the soft/hardware with new stuff from the dealer, lubed it with marine grade grease and it has been fine since (2008).

un-hook the linkage to confirm its the pedal and not the linkage binding or the master cylinder sticking
