I knocked my Breva over in the driveway (I hate when that happens). No real damage, but I sheared the pivot bolt to the rear brake lever. I ordered a replacement from Harpers. That took a few weeks since it had to come from Italy. In the meantime I grew inpatient so I ordered titanium version from AF1. Of course they showed up on almost the same day. I extracted the broken bolt and when to install the titanium version. It will not fit through the hole in the lever! So, I grabbed the stock bolt - same results! Then I tried the original, broken bolt. That won't fit either.

Is there a trick to this like freezing the bolt? Has anyone else broken this bolt?
 
Rear Brake Lever Pin, part #AP8121223. It gets installed with a rubber O-ring on each side of the brake lever and, of course, I also managed to lose one. I would guess that the bolt (pin) should slide right into the hole in the brake lever, but it has too large a diameter to fit.

Perhaps you've managed to distort the hole in your lever. Hopefully you can restore it with a drill of the correct dimensions.

That would be the brake lever pin, item 24 on Tab 32 of the parts manual.

I'd say Kiwi Dave nailed it. Instead of a drill, you might try a small hone, or rolled sandpaper until the bolt goes through easily. Remember it has to rotate on that bolt. A little dry lube probably wouldn't hurt either. You should be able to get an o-ring at a hardware store.
 
Thanks. I did get the pin out, but it did not drop out I had to mess with it a bit. So maybe the lever got twisted when the bike went down. I'll give the sandpaper a shot.
