The quick release lever on my 105 5800 rear brake gets jammed half way open, does anyone know of any fix?
I've tried the usual soaking in WD40, forcing it and wiggling it about but it the action gets stuck at the exact same spot.

There is a little ball bearing in the quick release mechanism and it's probably getting jammed. I was sure the br-5800 QR was the same as the 6800 and could be disassembled but that looks riveted together.

Yeah, doesn't look like there's a fix unfortunately. There's just a rivet under the cap. Annoying. T hanks anyway.
