Snapped my lever the other day and just received the new one but was just wondering how easy it to replace?
Dont want to go unscrewing things for everything else to pop out of it. Whats the best way to go about it?

Doesn't look that hard, but he did skip the part where he puts the springy bit in 😀 :

l.e. older model, but the lever looks similar. [url= ]Exploded diagram[/url] of the Tech 3 master cylinder / lever.

I did it recently. Very easy.

There's a circlip on the lever puvot. Remove that, then remove the small grub sceew under the blade (mine was missing... they disappear of their own accord sometime)

Once both are out, push the pivot out and the lever and cam assembly come out... careful, there's a spring in between them with a small plug at each end, dont lose them.

Take the reach adjust off the old lever blade (held on by circlip) and swap it to the new blade.

Match up new blade to the cam with spring and plugs back in place, push the lever pivot through and then replace circlip and grub screw, all done.

It's years since I did it, and it was on a much older model, but not difficult.

Sorted it all out. Didnt have to remove any grub screw though. Just removed the circlip and the lever pivot pushed out...

Yeah... you might not have a grub screw at all, same as me.
