Graham,
Thank you for your offer of assistance.....if I decide to do this job, I
will take you up on your offer and if it is any consolation, I don't
work unless there is 'beer', so you have no worries.
Jim, I bought the Edson Wheel Brake Repair Kit at the Binnacle here and
it cost $69.95......when I look at what I got (two pads, a little
plastic pipe, a washer, a cotter pin and some Locktite) I don't know why
it is that price. What you paid seems more reasonable.

Hi Rob
Pretty easy job if the screws come out easily. If they are seized...
1) remove the throttle / shift lever assembly if you have one - you
will have to pull the pins connecting the levers to the forks on the
cables. Small needlenose pliers are good. And remove the plate
holding the pedestal guard.
2) on the end of the brake locking shaft down inside there is a cotter
pin, you have to get that off. needlenose pliers or needlenose vice
grips.
3) remove the plate on top (two screws at the forward edge of the
metal plate that retains the upper ends of the brake pads).
4) hold the left pad with vicegrips or pliers, and turn the brake knob
to unscrew it off of the threaded shaft. Remove left pad
5) hold the right pad and pull out the brake knob, the right pad
slides on/off.
That's pretty much it. If you want a hand some evening, I work for
beer... :-)

Has anyone installed an Edson Wheel Brake Replacement Kit?
When I remove the Danforth compass and look down at where the new kit
should go, I wonder if this is a DIY job?
Reminds me of replacing my mixing elbow.....if you were doing it on a
work bench, no big deal.....doing it in the constricted space is a
challenge.
If anyone has done it or knows how to do it, what happens after the
compass is removed? Any and all advice welcomed.
