PB Blaster ...soak it and keep cleaning and soaking

if that doesnt work heat may need to be applied to the frame

if you let the brake peddle get this bad, how is your swing arm pivot bolt?

I had the same problem..

Just keep soaking it with penitrating oil and working the lever up and down while applying outward pressure to the lever. It took me about three days of casual work to get it undone, didn't want to get pissed off and break something

Just do what Pappy said. PB Blaster is the only way to go. WD-40 is nothing compared to PB.
