[Re: E-brake jam (archives down)]

[losinit@usa.net (Cathy Boyko)]

I got an extra two years out of a really terrible used one by carefully
applying a bit of one of those miracle teflon lubes (that comes in a grey=

squeeze tube) around the edges as the E brake was put on/off a few times.=
 But
I'm fed up with it and it's finally going. All that brake stuff is a terr=
ible
price though.
