CalopS Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Its not hard once you take off the leaver and take all the bits out :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Take an m5 bolt and file the head as shown in the pic below and replace the 2 broken pieces with it :( Reassemble lever as shown below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Or, you can leave it like mine and just have the allen key bolts sticking out. They're easy enough to turn by hand, so it's not like it's a mission to adjust them afterwards either. The pics are down, but seriously, it's easy enough to do without them. Undo lever blade bolt. Take lever out. Strip it down (it'll be obvious once you're doing it, but I can't remember off the top of my head :">), but remember how you took it apart so you can reassemble it. Where the TPA bolt sticks out, you should have the sheared part remaining inside the little square metal bit. Again, when you're doing it you'll see what I mean more easily than just reading this. Get that out, and replace with the M5 bolt, then rebuild. Job's a good un. It's a shit pic, but you can kinda see what mine look like now. That's just my front Magura with a fairly short bolt sticking out of it; Again - sorry for the crappy pic, but I was taking a picture of the grips not the lever :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Sorry, yeah, big butchered bolts are "in" for '05 :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexymike Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 i have done that but my tpa bit (not the bolt but the bit in the lever) spins when you move the bolt so you have to hold it, everyone else's stays so u dont, ne idea's?

Mark W Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 The square bit sometimes spins as well, but it doesn't do it all the time :- It's only when the TPA's wound well far in, but that's about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
