There's something really horrible about the Reynolds 853 sticker. Reynolds have done themselves a serious disservice by losing the classic font which they're famous for.

I used to think this. Then I had a bike built that had it attached, to denote the tubing used to build the frame (you know this, of course). Now it can do no wrong for me. Go figure.

like this:
*Slide back the rubber hood cover from the front/top/pointy part.
This will reveal the top of the plastic decorative shroud.

*Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to gently pry the top of the
shroud down and out from under the top of the lever body. This will
snap out with very little effort.

*Once the shroud is off, you'll see a tiny setscrew just below the
pivot pin. It's either 2 mm or 2.5, I forget which. This setscrew
may be hard to turn, it's Loctited in place. Remove the setscrew.

*Push the pivot pin out to one side and all of the moveable parts
will come right out.

*Snap the shroud back in place, and replace the rubber hood. You're done!

Oooh you clever dude. I figured it was a remnant of the body as used for a brake, but I had little joy in the two minutes I spent trying to pop the body open. So I resorted to a sticky thing.
