Juicy 5 (2007) wobbly lever

Any ideas anyone?
The front brake lever has gone rather wobbly - still works fine but it's annoying.
No obvious way of "tightening" it that I can see of.
Any Juicy experts know the score?

what way?
is the grub screw tight?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Nick - slight movement up and down and generally seems loose (wobbling while I ride - the back brake doesn't move and is fine).
There are two grubs screws - one on the base of the lever, one just behind it (errrmm - a very small one on what looks like the end of a brake cable - even though they are hydraulic!).
I thought the lever one might adjust the reach of the lever but not tighten it up? I may be wrong though.0 -
download the tech manual from srams webby. but yes there are 2 grub screws one for lever reach and the other holds the lever onto the pivot pin."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Nick - do you think the 2nd (lever pivot pin) might be the one to tighten then?
I think it's the smaller one - will check the manual out but I seem to remember it not being very helpful in this one.0 -

Nick - cheers. That's a more comprehensive one than I have at the moment.
I will have a fiddle and hope for the best - think I know what the problem is now.0 -
Sorted it!
Luckily the grub screw is the same size as the ones I use on my surfboard fins so my "FCS" tool (Fin Control System) fitted perfectly.
Splendid
