Hey all,

Well, USGP #5 tried to take my left 105 STI lever. I keeled over on one
greasy corner and the lever was torqued far to the outside (The exact
opposite of its normal range of motion.)

What I think I need now is Shimano's special tool for removing the lever
assembly from the hinge. I can't remember what it's called-- it looks
like a little castle with a hex socket.

Anyone out there have one to sell? Know of someplace locally that can
provide me with this sort of specialty tool?

Thanks!
Brian (the other one, not Engelen)

P.S. I'd love to use this as an excuse to switch to SRAM's Rival. But
there is NO WAY I can afford to change levers, derailleurs, and
cassette. (Jeesh, that stuff is sweet, though. I love how you can remove
a panel and have access to the guts for cleaning and service.)
