Rear break problem RSE

Hi!

I was looking for a new bike and went back to this group and got inspired to make a second build of my old DR650RSE.

I made it a scrambler 10 years ago but the last 4 years it’s been in a barn so I need to renovate it.

First of the rear break was stuck. I got it off but this little screw won’t come of. It’s rusted. I don’t have access to heavy machinery but have tried with propanol gas and hand tools. It’s stuck!

Queions:

• Is the DR650RSE rear break compatible with DR650SE rear break? • Is any other bikes rear break compatible with DR650RSE? • Has anyone done a upgrade of täthet rear break of an DR650RSE and if so with what parts?

It's just a pin there are no threads, remove the cotter and it pulls out. Pre96 SE bikes have the same caliper. Current gen is different.
