nah its really tight i have used all my body weight to loosen it.
anyways got the new bracket already. more work to do. guess will try WD 40 n hope it opens up.
1 thing i learn. If it doesn't open with a desend amt of force dun push it further.
Have you tried tightening it more? (Just a small amount though) then try turning it left to loosen it??
failing that, a bit of heat may help you.
That doesn't help. Second hand footrest brackets are usually easy to find on fleabay etc. It must've been really tight unless bracket already starting to crack after bike been dropped at some time.
If you have removed the brake caliper it's quite common to end up with a bubble where the brake pipe comes out the top on the master cylinder and depending on the size of the bubble it can be almost impossible to get rid of by normal bleeding since it keeps returning the this high point in the system. Sometime slackening the banjo bolt on the top the the master cylinder can let the bubble out but you risk letting more air in.
If you unbolt the caliper from the bracket and the brake pipe guide from the swinging arm and tie it so brake pipe runs uphill from the master cylinder to the caliper and then bleed it you should get rid of the bubble.
I would take off the caliper, leaving the pads in place and try pressing the brakes, if your pistons are ok they will push together then insert a flat object between the pads and push them back to allow you get them back over the disc, you might have to do this a few times to get them to work loose, then if that's working ok you can eliminate the pistons etc but I'm thinking they will be stuck and will need an overhaul
And if that is the case, you'll want to read this thread

Only open bleed screw as far as it needs to be to pass fluid, it might only be half a turn and you might feel a lot of pressure at the pedal to achieve this. Even if it's a one way bleed tube i always nip up the screw ( just enough, not fully ) while the pedal is still moving.
Well i never experienced winter myself before. I m from Singapore its tropical climate hot and humid all year around.
Lucky youif your ambient temp is above 20 celsius at least.
i wish my country was cooler
Hi, my very 1st post here in this forum.Welcome rajoana,
basically its meant for winter conditions.
if u dun experience that, u can do a by pass n block that outlet altogether hence allowing cooler air for combustion. which make the engine slightly more responsive.
Interesting first post!
What do you class as winter conditions? Where would you block the pipe off?
