Thanks guys for the heads-up on those wrenches but I think I'll pass. The little home-made wrench I made worked really well for the job. It's going into my bike tool box for the next time. The brakes are all back together and awaiting the frame to be finished dipping in the oxalic.

Dipping is going to take forever as this thing has a really crappy paint job from Nottingham and it's just covered in rusty haze as well as many many chips. The bike still has its stock pedals and what looks like the stock brake pads with almost no wear on them (but they sure had a bunch of rust!) But in that little time that this bike was ever rode in the last 23 years it sure got really chipped, and rusted in placed it didn't even chip or get scratched in. The quality of paint isn't up to that which I'm used to on the older Raleighs for sure
