62 S2 Brakes sticking

A good thorough flush with normal brake fluid should wash the crud out. You may clean the brake master reservoir though with a wiping towel before the refill. Pump out the old fluid into a glass container and reuse it with the old fluid for bleeding. You'll note the difference once fresh fluid comes out with dirt and will finally clear up...
To install them is a bit fiddly while the added protection value is rather questionable. If you intend to ride in nasty weathers perhaps they make sense. I usually leave them off & never encountered any issue with this - even after heavy thunderstorm rides ...
Thanks again for all the help! .... David
 
Use a little high temp anti-seize where the drum mates to the hub and that should make it easier to remove the drum in the future.
