I swapped the disk on the front out today as well. I use EBC on all my bikes so I figured I would on Buzzy as well.

If I had not read about this screw on another thread, I would have been screwed (see what I did there)? The Clymer manual I have does not show the single disks that came on the 1982 bike, thus it does not mention taking this one out.

For the time being, the caliper is holding pressure. But I am going to need to get a rebuild kit ASAP as this 40 year old rubber is truly showing its age.

Both of the old pads show significant groves, though the disk is only slightly noticeable. There is only minimal wear otherwise.

I could not find the "C" clamp I normally use to press the piston back in so I use a wrench as a buffer and simply squeezed it back with channel locks.

I pumped the brake lever a few times and and pressured it up. I then went for a ride down by the Potomac river. The front brakes are better now but I think I will great new line soon and still need to flush the brake fluid.
