but John(combo52)recommends using a pair of vice grips clamped on to the edge of the brake assembly and then whacking the side of the vice grips with a plastic hammer to knock the brake loose. He works on these machines for a living and says that tool is clunky and awkward to use. I have this tool but I've never had an opportunity to use it. Still, I'd trust him on this.

Wow $60+ for a nearly useless tool that is a little dangerous to use.
I should have tried selling the three I threw in the scrap bin a year or so ago, but I could not sell one in good conscience.
When using a Vice-Grip to remove MT Brake you might have to use more than a plastic mallet, but I have never had one put up much of a struggle unless the whole machine sat in a foot of water and the threads are too corroded to remove in which case the damper and the steel washer base are toast anyway.
