ergopower -- brake lever disassembly?

[geos]

hello,

I downloaded exploded diagrams for campagnolo shifters and it's not
clear to me if it's possible to reuse brushings and rivets (if those are
rivets) which are marked red on the following picture (28kB):

Is it possible to disassemble ergopower's brake lever only and
reassemble it without need additional parts?

I would appreciate your help.

thanks,
geos

The parts you marked in red are just press fits. Take a nail punch or
nail and tap the pin out. I think I drove mine out to the inside, not
sure it matters. You can reuse all of the parts when you reassemble it.

here is the real picture of the detail:

it's campagnolo record ultra 10, if this information is important.

Just take a punch and drive it out. You have to do this to overhaul
the Ergo levers.

http://www.yellowjersey.org/ergo1.html

On page 2 of the Ergo overhaul manual above, item 2, it says to punch
out this pin with a punch and hammer. It lists the part letters and
shows the picture on page 5 of the manual.

You can normally disassemble an Ergo for rebuild WITHOUT removing the lever.
At least I have been able to do so the three times I had to go there.
Removing the lever just makes it easier to seat the Allen key on that side,
but it can be done otherwise..

Certainly. Unless the nylon bushngs are squished , yes
re-use them.
