The screw that sets the pedal position should have a nut on it to lock it in place.

Topic RESURRECTIOOOONNNNNN!!!!

I had the same problem here last week.  Rear brake seized up.  Lever wouldn't budge.  Turned out there was no play at all in the pedal.  My adjustment screw had backed way out and wasn't allowing any play.

I stopped by Lowes on the way to work and picked up some M5 nuts.  Turns out, they won't thread onto the adjustment screw.  Does anyone know what the screw size is?  It sure looked like an M5, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks guys.

All of the S*R and before Monsters, they're M6.

Not sure about the latest generation.
