S90: Brake Cable Replacement

Swapped out the front brake cable.  The new cable was significantly thicker than the old one and I had to file away a bit of metal to get it seated properly.

S90: Petcock Degunking

CM91: Piston Power

Popped the piston off for the first time.  The pin was very loose and I was able to get it out without any special tools.  The piston rings were also easily removed and replaced by hand.

Unfortunately, the camera battery died just after the piston came off, but here are a few pics of it.
