Hi all:
I've acquired a drop-bar bike with linear-pull brakes and Dia-Compe
287-V brake levers. I'm trying to remove the levers from the
handlebar and I'm not sure I've figured out how. It looks like the
band that attaches the levers to the handlebar is secured by a bolt
with a head configured for a 4mm hex wrench that you can access once
the nose piece of the lever is removed. However, that bolt is so far
"down there" that I can only get the long arm of the hex wrench of the
bolt and I can't pull enough torque on the short arm to unscrew that
bolt. Before I get medieval on this sucker I figured I should ask:
am I doing this correctly?
TIA
