| First, remove the "dust cover" from the middle of the crankset. |
 |
| Then, remove the bolts on either side. |
 |
| Using a chain "breaker", remove the old chain. |
 |
| Next, I need to use a crank puller tool to remove the crank from the drive side and the crank arm from the LH side. I have the tool... |
 |
| The front derailleur shifter is the one on the LH side of the downtube. It's simply removed by turning the loop/adjuster (no tool required). |
 |
| This shifter is not "indexed" so it's pretty simple. |
 |
| Looking in my spare parts bag, I found several LH Dura-Ace levers (the parts in the middle of the picture are the ones that came off the bike). |
 |
| I was thinking about swapping in the Dura-Ace lever for the 600 lever, but the Dura-Ace lever is missing the two inner pieces that go inside the lever. |
 |
| These are all the parts. Notice that the lever has a washer inside (from this side of the lever). |
 |
| Close up picture of the washer inside the lever (it has a tab at the top that keeps it from rotationg) |
 |
| The other side of the lever has a metal piece that is captured inside of a groove and has stops at both ends where it meets the raised "C" shaped portion of the lever... |
 |
| Close up picture of the metal piece on this side of the lever... |
 |
| After cleaning the handle, lightly sanded the wood... |
