Headley Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 1. Loosen the TPA so that the lever comes in as far as possible.2. Undo the bolt for the lever (5mm allan key)3. Remove the TPA by turning it until the metal rod falls out. The rest of the TPA should fall out of the lever.4. Insert the red dial and the 2 plastic covers that came out of the old lever into the zoo lever.5. Insert the metal rod through the gap in the lever and tighten up the TPA fully.6. Pop the new lever in and tighten up the lever bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headley Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks and what do i do with the 2 little washers i get with it wait ill bring my bike in my room and do it from your step by stepThey're meant to go inbetween the lever and the lever body but I couldn't fit them in when I had maggies so I just didn't use them. If just one of the washer will fit you might aswell put it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headley Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) Ive got the lever of but i cant get the red thing out how do i do it.There are 3 parts; red dial and 2 black 'covers'. Just push them from the top (when your looking down on the lever). They should just fall out then.Edit: Have you taken out the metal rod first? You need to do that before you can remove the red dial.

Headley Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Yeah i just put the lever on and cant turn the red thingy so took it off and trying to loosen it but too tight so what shall i do.I had this problem once or twice. Clamp the metal rod in a vice and and unscrew the red dial so that the rod is left in the vice. If you cant undo it with your fingers try using a pair of plyers. Then check that the threads are alrite inside the red dial and try putting it on again; make shure that it goes on dead straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
