Title: olive stuck in Shimano dura Ace shifter
Post by: kubackje on May 19, 2025, 03:36:03 PM

After screwing up and forgetting there was the olive in my ST-R9170 shifter that waited for the installation I subsequently torqued the olive down on top of the already inserted olive and it got stuck inside. Anyone has an idea how to remove it ?

Ps. I don't need to here how stupid I am but you can call me so in this thread

Try with a sharp but strong pincer.
Be patient. .. it is possible to peel it out. But it takes some time.
