Removed the 4 bolts holding the front cross tube to the chassis and removed it. Almost got my finger squashed under steering arm. CHASSIS1_small.jpg (2089 bytes)
Removed the 4 bolts from the back tube and removed it. There are aluminum spacers between the bracket and the chassis. The different material causes corrosion. I had to angle grind one of the bolts as it would not turn. chassis2.jpg (15485 bytes)
To remove the hand brake lever there are two hollow rivets that have to be removed, one at each end. When these are out the bracket and tube slide along allowing the assemble to move out of the slots. handbrake.jpg (14705 bytes)
