I need some help of you pro's.

I've just changed my brake lever for an aftermarket one no problems, but when I came to change the clutch one I couldn't remove the little pin from the lever (the two small parts shown in the picture). Does anyone know the part numbers for these or do I need a whole new lever to get them?

If anyone has an old lever with these in that can be removed ghive me a shout also, I think mine were put in by a giant.

Also will I need to bleed the clutch system after removing the lever, the level has dramatically dropped

At the base of the hinge for the pin is a grub screw. M3 if I remember, you need to slacken that off before you try to unscrew the pointy pin. Had the same problem with mine, but once it's removed you should have no problems.

Cool, I'll have to give that a go tomorrow when it's daylight again and see.

Thanks

On the subject of clutch levers, I have a bit of thin rubber sleeve / seal that looks like it might be coming apart. It is showing just where the lever operates the cylinder and look a bit torn. I'm wondering if this is something that needs to be investigated further. It just doesn't look quite right...

Mine is the same, it's a dust/dirt seal onto the actual piston. Going to replace it when I have to overhaul the mastercylinder whenever that may be. Put a drop of liquid PTFE sealant in and it is stopping all the crud off the road getting in there.

Many thanks.

Best of luck trying to source the seals. Been trying for 6 months and no joy

Chabby's mate Dave has helped us source the seals for the standard clutch slave and also the Mille 4-pad callipers (I really must post up the 4-pad calliper info).
Maybe we can twist his arm again to help us - but we will need to send him the seals we are trying to replace (preferably the unit they fit into too) so that he can identify them.
