Replace brake lever arm without dismantling from handlebar or bleed. To access rubber cap & axle fixing bolt easier it is good to release lever reach at first.

Hi metod, In my case I couldn’t remove the axle. I saw in your video that you removed them easily but my axel is so tight that I can’t move it. Some tip to remove it? It’s normal that I haven’t been able to move it? Regards and thanks for your video.
It is not easy for the first time. Try to put hex nut around the rod on topside parallel to surface so you can see the rod thru nut hole. Add short rod from bottom side and try to squeeze this "sandwich" with pliers. Don't forget to trotect surfaces against scratches with self adhesive tape or cloth. Hope you will manage it.
Yes, sometimes it needs a quite strong push to release the axle for the first time. Try to use a short plastic plastic ring and put it around the axle on bottom side. On the top side add a short plastic axle above the brake lever axle and squeez al this sandwich with a pliers for a few millimeters. I advise using plastic materials to avoid unwanted scratches on the brake levers.
The title should say "brake lever *blade* replacement". "Brake lever" is the whole thing you mount on the handlebar. (sorry, looking for a brake lever replacement video :-D)
Actually, the title is 100% accurate and correct. 😱A _brake_ LEVER is exactly that, the LEVER which is used to operate the brake mechanism. 🤯Why, you ask, is it NOT referred to as a blade? 🤔Because blades are used for cutting, they’re found in razors and knives, etc but definitely nowhere to be found in any brake mechanism. 😳 Just for your benefit, the entire assembly is known as the brake lever mechanism or assembly, not just a brake lever because a lever is a specific thing, and levering is what it does and all it does. 😒There is nothing whatsoever that’s in any way blade-like. Not sure what kind of blades you’ve come across but everyone I’ve ever seen had a very narrow and very sharp edge running down the length of it. 🤨Again, this brake LEVER has none of that. Hence, it’s in no way a blade and shouldn’t be referred to as such.🤓
Short, shows everything and I dont even need sound on. Amazing, thanks for sharing.
:) Glad to help.
Wish u would have show how the spring goes in..

Same issue with mine. That axle seemed seized in there. I had to order a new lever assembly for $44.
Great video, thanks
You're welcome.
What can I do if the lever axel doesn’t move?

Boom! And just like that
Thanks dude 😎!
