Bringing the foxeye back from the dead

[darrsi]

well some progress, managed to get the brakes off,  so at least its rolling. first thing i need to do is get it outside and pressure wash the tons of crap and cobwebs off. got a charger connected to the battery but i doubt the battery is any good after all these years. the chain is very rusty but not solid like i first thought. maybe a soak in oil will make it usable for a little while until i can change it. the rear brake caliper is stuck, i need to part the pads to get it off the disc how can i do that?

I seriously don't recommend using a pressure washer on bikes, they cause all sorts of problems like blasting paint off and getting water into electrics.
I used one the other day on my engine before a spray job and was amazed how much paint it blew off.
A few weeks before that i used a hose with a fine spray and my air horn started screeching for three days to the point that i bought a new one, then it dried out and worked okay  :\

I'll be amazed if you can get your chain into a decent working state, it will have sticky links all over it.

As for the rear pads, i reckon once the pad pins are removed then a bit of brute force with a pair of pliers will be needed to slide them out.
