sticky hayes lever?

[LBmtb]

This was a week or two ago. Got bored and decided to do a write up on it.

problem: accidently put too much locktite on the push rod (little screw) on my lever blade and it got on the bushing also. Made the lever sticky.

solution: take apart and clean with rubbing alcohol

step 1: Take out pins. You have to have a hex on one side while you loosen the other side with another hex. Be careful not to loose the lever pin bushings.

step 2: Take a 2mm hex and tighten the push rod. Tighten it all the way until the lever becomes free.

step 3: The bushing still attached to the lever was stuck with locktite on mine. So I poked it out.

step 4: Clean bushing and lever with rubbing alcohol.

step 5: Reassemble doing everthing backwards. Put the bushing in the lever and make sure it turns freely. Then slide it onto the push rod and use a 2mm to loosen it (which brings it up into the bushing). Then reinstall the pins and pin bushings.

If the lever engages too low, tighten the push rod.
