How to fix STI lever???

[Bill]

I have a right side Shimano 105 8 speed lever that's messed up. While doing
maintenance, the cable somehow got "jammed" in the shifter and won't come
out. I removed the face bolt and the face and spring popped off. Is it
worth my while to try and service it or is it toast? Thanks - Bill

These things rival spring loaded watches in their complexity. If you take too
much apart, you will not get it back together-

Campagnolo-with a rear der of the same manufacturer will eliminate this
problem.
