Hi folks.

I've got a Hayes Sole brake lever which has come away from the lever body. I lost the pivot bolts too, but have order a new set from CRC. Anyone know if the lever is easy enough to put back on!? Hopefully i don't have to dismantle the hose etc to get it back on?

Not the most mechanically minded so any help is most welcome...

Ross

I've not seen that exact model for a while, but almost all hydro levers have the lever just pushing the piston, so when you bung the pivot bolt back in all will be good. Shouldn't need any interference with the hose at all.

Seem to remember there being a pair of plastic thrust washers too, one either side of the lever blade, keeping them in place whilst fitting the sleeve-nut and bolt is probably the hardest part of the job.
