Well I had the presomptuous idea to start doing it without watching the video, so I tried to inscrew the nut, anti-clockwise, and it took the "head" of the bolt with it. (I really did not force, that's how I try to relieve myself from guilt). I put the nut back on somehow, put the cap on it and scrwed back the bolt over it, it seems alright as long as nobody disassembles it so it' gonna do the job xD Anyway, good video, thank you.
Thanks! Perfect! Now I dare to unscrew my shifter, it always jumps from the largest chainring directly to the smallest and skips the middle one. Before I take it all apart like you did, I'll try some oil spray, maybe that'll loosen the old hard grease.
It’s probably one of the pawls that are either sticky or the pawls spring is no longer tensioned enough. If a sticky pawl, you can simply blast with some degreaser, no need to remove everything.
@@atboy4342 Yes, thank you very much! I will first try to clean the inside with oil spray or petrol and loosen hard grease. Worst case I can dismantle everything. Until now I thought a tooth was damaged. My shifter is 30 years old and was in daily use in all weathers.
In retrospect, I'll write what the problem was for me: I had previously unnoticed fixed the cable in the wrong position, which is why the shifter didn't shift correctly. Nevertheless, the video here was very useful, I repaired the broken axle (made of die-cast zinc) and completely cleaned and lubricated everything. Now after two years one of the pawls stopped working, the Teflon grease I used was too sticky or too hard. I oiled everything with a high-quality multifunctional oil (Sonax SX90). Now the shifter also shifts correctly in the intermediate stages that are necessary to adjust the front derailleur so that the chain does not rub.
i recommend using oil in lubricating the shifters because grease get gummed up over time and oil doesn't (although it dries out so you have to add oil every once in a while)
Thank you! Just pulled out my 30 yr old DiamondBack Ascent.
не каждому осилить такую полную разборку чистку и сборку -- БРАВО ,
The exact video I needed to help me today. Thank you! 🙏
good teacher

Thank you, helping me a lot!
One more 30+ bike saved!

Thank you for this video. what kind of grease did you use. Looks like Slikoleum light grease.
Teflon based grease from diy shop. Most greases are fine i;e marine grease
