Hi all, i have the m987 xtr brake levers but as the result of a fall i have knocked the lever blade which has caused the small circlip and washer to pull out of the housing.

It looks like you have to remove the pin from the lever blade to get access to get the circlip back in.

Does anyone have any experience of this or any way i can find out how to remove the pin ?

I`ve searched online but have found nothing

Cheers

    Pin looks the same both sides.

    I guess that it press fits in and out ??

    Think i`ve sussed it. There is a small plug in the lever , once removed there si a fixing bolt that you remove and the lever/blade will come out.

    Anyone know where i can get some very long nose circlip pliers ??!
