I invested in manuals for both bikes. Sure they are onine somewhere, but you can't put sticky notes online and get them all greasy!

Here is the problem, the old pedal has a crack in it. It's hard to believe that if the bike falls onto the right side, it's the brake pedal that takes the fall! (when the bags are off)

I don't just take pictures for the entertainment of my readers, it's a reference for putting things back together!!

Having the right tool is important. The only thing I was missing was the locktight and some greese, so I made a trip for those.

Last chance for before pictures!

So this is how the spring goes on, less all the road salt. Who the heck rides in the winter!

It's important to take lots of breaks. In my case, I left for half the day and then came back to my project.

And voila, the spring went back into place, the locktight cleaned up, and a glowing new brake pedal, that hopefully works just fine!

Did you have to adjust the brake light switch clearance? I found that the Clymer manuals for both my K75 and R1150GS were either incorrect or confusing and in the end followed the oficial BMW Repair Manual instructions

"hopefully works fine"? Surely you did a quick test ride? Or was there snow outside?
