Removing Campagnolo Chorus Brake Levers

doh777 · 2011-09-01 14:46:39

Any help appreciated. Pics attached. Having difficulty trying to remove the brake/gear levers. I can't seem to reach the allen nut even with the lever pulled as far back as it will go. They're Chorus ergopower levers marked BB system. Thanks.

if they'r anything like shimano, loosen/remove the cables then "shift" and brake at the same time and you get much more access to the bolt.

ok. think I've tried that but will try again. With the shifter to the left and the brake fully pulled back can't seem to get the neccesary access to the bolt.

Pull back the brake hoods, not the lever. The bolt is under there. At least that's where it is on the newer ones.

The bolt is under the hood on my 10-year old Chorus ergolevers too, from what I remember.

PS, you pull the hoods back from the rear, i.e. pull them towards the front wheel.
