It’s ridiculously easy. I did this in about 5 minutes.
1. Unthread the lever pivot set screw by using a 2.5 mm allen wrench and turning counterclockwise. Make sure to keep your hand underneath the brake as the screw may fall down suddenly.
2. Unthread the lever adjuster screw by using a 2.0 mm allen wrench. You will not unthread it entirely. After a few turns, you’re ready to move to the next step. You will hear popping sounds. That’s ok.
3. Gently pop the lever out and you are done.
4. Replace with a new lever by reversing the above steps.

Dang Jeremy…you’re quite the wrench lately! Good job. That’s way easier than another method that I saw on another site…
wow, that looks nice. I like the two finger grooves. that’s some nice bling
Man those are SO much easier to replace than Hayes!
How did you pop the main pivot/post out? That was the hardest thing to do with the Hayes.
I should have taken a picture but just a little gentle prying and it popped right off! Very gentle prying, by the way. It actually surprised me how easily it came off.
who makes the blue lever? looks good!
Hey Daniel, The blue lever is pretty cool.
The lever is from a company called twenty6 products. We did a review of the lever here: http://www.mtnbikeriders.com/2008/05/20/review-twenty6-products-levers/
