Hmm, never thought about that. I guess its best to try and loosen it up
first before doing anything else, so I can tell what I might be up
against. Good point, thanks.

That would be an added bonus, as the brakes are a bit soft. Didn't think
of that.

Still too cold around here to deal with it. I'm just glad its not my daily
driver and I can get by without it for a while. I don't like driving it in
the winter anyway with the salt and crap flying around the roads. Here in
Utah, the dump water from the Great Salt Lake right onto the roads to
clear the snow and ice. 25% concentrate salt water....

Anyway, thank you for the input. I appreciate it very much.
