seized brakes B6000

CLR, or ZEP Calcium, Lime, rust remover will also do the same thing, for cheap.

You got me aligned with ZEP and Menards sells it so I've been using it. Good stuff, especially the degreaser.

justinhw,
The parts manual for B6000 shows a circlip on the rod on the inside (pic 1 and 2 you posted). Have you taken that off yet? If not, I would take it off, cut two blocks of wood to fit next to lever on outside (pic 3 you posted) and put a block of wood on rod on inside and using hammer, try to gently tap it out of housing. Parts manual also shows two o-rings on the rod, can't really see by the drawing but I suspect one o-ring on each outside and inside of the rod.

Yup, circlips are off

Been soaking for a few days.. the acetone+atf made the pain thin and can almost wipe off, but the thing is still seized! May have to break down and buy one of them ultrasonics..

I have been trying to hammer it out by supporting the back side with some wood - no luck

I have used the evap o rust. It works well removing rust on the surface of parts.

I have never tried it on a stuck assembly but suppose it would work.

But I think you can get PB Blaster in gallons to soak parts in. I would compare the cost to decide

Transmission repair shops have a "hot tank" cleaner too. maybe worth a try to ask them if they could toss it in the tank next trans they got going on. I've found when I could not free a rusted part that heat and time are your friends ....heat/ soak/ repeat until free. I uually soak the entire part in ACT/Trans fluid and I mix some diesel in too.

Too bad you live so far away. I could have it out in maybe 5 seconds using my hydraulic arbor press I push broaches with. Makes 20 tons of ram force.
