Is it possible to disassemble?

I have 2 that have faults that I was hoping to build one from

Yes you can Jools, you might need to get a new circlip if the old one is knackered, and also when putting the bolt back on that holds the spring use a little loctite threadlock and don't overtighten it.

They are "peened" in, a good method of getting them out is to use a metal punch to carefully knock it out, use a piece of wood with a hole drilled out as a support and for the pin to fall into. If done carefully you can reuse the pin, when putting it back in use the punch to re peen it. Or file the "peened" end around (not flat as you might be able to re use if you just take a little off the sides) and just knock out, then buy the replacement pin from campy or look around for something similiar (either your local hobby shop or wickes have pretty good selections). hope this helps

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
