How does the rear brake pedal come out? Do you have to remove the rubber? If so how? The pedal is seized so I can't push anything once it's dangling so I'll have to remove the whole thing. I'm just changing the inner cable as it's sticking but going to clean the whole thing and grease it up.
cheers

release cable at rear ,pour boiling water on rubber an with either a spring hook or screwdriver lever up the outside end over the shorter arm of pedal an it will slide off the longer arm. undo 2 nuts n bolts an third bolt into captive nut an it will drop .detach 2 wires to switch an pull n wiggle body out of frame,pull inner thru an then twist wiggle pedal thru floor an its out . pin that pedals seized on only drives out 1 way ,a good soak in wd40 an lots of heat an support pedal block as ya drive it or they can break .

If it's a px and pedal sticking its most likely the pedal itself not the cable, so check that before doing the ball ache job of changing the cable.

Very likely the pedal rather than the cable. Strip the pedal, give it a good going over with Emery and make sure the pedal pivots easily on the pin. Get plenty of grease onto the pin as you drive it back into the brake assembly. When you fit it back onto your scoot, smother the whole assembly in grease and I mean smother it. It's out of sight and it means your brakes will still work in 6 months time, which is nice๐ Basically you want a grease barrier between your brakes and the road crap. I did this with mine 18 months ago after it was seized solid and I've not had any problems since. The rest of my scoot is crumbling but my back brake is magnifique ๐
