Shimano M765 Lever removal

xPost aus.bicycle, rec.bycicles.tech


I have a Deore XT hydraulic lever that was bent and broken in a fall, and
obviously I need to replace it.

I have the new lever, that's not a problem, but removing the original is
appearing to be a challenge without bashing it some more, so since there must
be an easy way I'm not seeing, I'll ask.

See:

As you can see, the lever portion is broken, and I'm trying to take it out.

The hinge point marked in red is what I'm having trouble removing. There
doesn't appear to be a circlip, screw, nut, bolt or anything except perhaps if
it's press-fit, but a bit of bashing doesn't work either.

I've tried picking the top part, bit it doesn't appear to want to give way,
and underneath, there is some internal bit that turns freely, but is just
round, not an allen key fitting or such.

Google isn't presenting anything useful, lots of Shimano diagrams, but only
relating to the entire hydraulic assembly itself, not detailed removal of all
the bits.


Any ideas?
