Replacing the brake lever only is pretty straightforward. There is a pivot point and that can be tapped off using a mallet and a tiny drill bit of the same size (hammer on the tip of the drill bit, displacing the rivet with the back of the drill to avoid damaging the rivet). Once that rivet is off, the blade comes off. Reassemble in exactly the same way.
The shifter is much harder, as you need to disassemble the all Ergo lever, strting from the very back, where the allen bolt is. The shifter spring is particularly hard to fit, kind of a watchmaker job.
If in trouble, send the lot to Velotech
