There is a "warning 200lbs" on the brake but again I believe I need to remove this to get to the seals. I don't have the special tool. I want to disassemble to order parts any suggestions? Thanks

There is a way to release the brakes and brake spring without the special tool. You can search this site and you will find instructions. The other way is to get the brake tool. I am a conservative and my feeling is that if the factory specs say use the tool, I use the tool.
