Is there one out there? (ive tried searching here and on google)

Crashed out and bent the above and picked up the replacement lever/blade earlier.

I cant figure out how to get the pivot pin out.
Ive tried pushing with a smaller piece of metal ... before i try pushing it out using a hammer i figure i should ask those with more knowledge incase im missing something simple.

Its an avid Juicy three set of breaks (off a Fury) and the packaging seems to suggest the lever/blade fits the 5 + 7 to.


*if you need pictures i can probably borrow some from online somewhere

    there was a grub screw to undo.

    have fun putting it all back together.

    it is all covered in the tech manual on srams webby.

    its the other pivot pin i was having trouble with not the grub screw one ... the guide on srams webby was just what i was looking for thank you!!


    (though they are having a laugh when they say just push it back in with your thumb ... i struggled to get it out and now im beating it back in, its tight as ____.

    Cheers again nick! will save srams webby to my favs
