flyforfish21 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I woudn't mess with the pawls too much. Once you've bent them a few times, it has a much higher likeliness of breaking. I'd order a new one, shouldn't cost more that $2-3, and if you call shimano, they'll most likely send that one for free. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
