With the help of the pictures, I got that rubber thingee back in place. Also, from the instructions here, I went and put some wrenches on the nuts up front, and went to the allen nut in back. Things started lining up..Not perfect but working. Also, in the process, I messed with that allen nut on the cable because the lever was going all the way back. Didn't know too much what I was doing, but I fumbled around and got some pressure in the lever, and the brakes are working on the rim..IMO, at this point, the brakes don't seem all the way straight up front, but they are better than they were before. Going to pull it off the stand and ride it around the block to see if the brakes are really working.

By the way, in the last one of these pics, you can see my Litespeed in the background, as if it was saying "why are you messing with this piece of garbage, when I am setting here, light as a feather, smooth as butter, and fast as lightning, why?"
