I almost quit because I could not slide the brake pedal off. Then I found your video. Thanks JL. I have a 2021 Kodiak. Purchased 3 years ago exactly. Not stored outside, but in a barn. It's quite wet in the Oregon area I am at. The rear foot brake pedal seized(almost) so that the brake light was always on. The only way to get it off, was to lift the brake pedal. Got harder all the time. Your video gave me the confidence to do this. The torch-flame to the pedal was the magical secret. And it made it easier to access the pedal after taking all the body parts off too. Simply put: Your video was spot on! I almost gave up and took the bike to the dealer for repair. That would be 2 round trips(4 hours) and likely $300 of repairs. I did the whole repair in 2 hours(this is counting me failing, finding your video, and restarting).
Well mines an '03 Kodiak 450 but has the same problem. Such a relief to have found this video which is no doubt going to be the answer to the issue with mine. Thanks!
My 2018 grizz foot brake was starting to get stiff. I thought it was maybe the cable but this is the exact video I needed to find. I might try putting some o-rings on both ends and adding a grease zerk in the middle if I can. Thank you!
I have a 2016 Grizzly with this exact same issue. I thought it was the cable seized up but now it looks like it is probably the lever. Thanks for this vid. It's going to help me a lot.
