HI
I have a old mountain bike with Shimano ST-M020 7 speed index shifter. I am able to remove the unit from the handle bar. Unscrew the allen screw and the screw on the opposite side on the outer body .But the main body unit still stuck on. THere seems to be no way to remove the cable attached as well.
I have already done a search on the net and on this forum. BUt cant seem to find any detail
instructions for this specific shifter. ( must be very old)
I want to get the cable out so I can go and buy a replacement index shifter.
Wondering if anyone can assist. Thanks in advance.
David

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, or what model you have.
Is the shifter integrated with the brake lever?
If not, you need to remove the grip and the brake lever. There should be one bolt in the clamp around the bars to undo for the shifter to slide off.
As for the cable, forget it, you'll be replacing the cable and at the same time replacing the outer cable as well. Just undo the cable at the derailleur, pull the little end cap off the inner cable and pull it through.

You are very tedious, and grumpy. Stay at home and give advice from your armchair.
