How to improve your BR Kick

I'd like some suggestions on how to improve the BR kick. I've been working on flexibility and legs strengthening exercises but maybe I'm missing something. I can barely kick a 100 under 2min and I can pull 100 in 1:44. I'd like to get my kick down to 1:45 and my pull down to 1:30. I have three weeks before a meet. What are your thoughts?

    I must be one of those rare breaststrokers Jeff talks about...I easily outkick my finless pull... I agree with Allen's assessment completely. Lastly, I started back a 15 months ago after a 20 year break having done NO BR kicking and couldnt break 2:05 on a 2:20 interval (SCY.) I took me a good two plus months to get down to 1:45 on 2:00. I ended last year's SCY season with a best set average of 1:35 in April (though only a 4x100 set.) It takes time...much more than three weeks, unfortunately.
