Any way to take this out? I realise that part of the appeal of the Code lever is that the bearings make this unnecessary, but it seems there must be a bushing or something in there that one could change out once needed? I always used to do this with my Hope brakes and it kept the levers feeling like new for years...

You should only need some one of the lever service kits, you should be able to look at avids spare parts list to find the correct parts. I had to buy 2 of those kits to install my straitline levers.

Eugh. Looks like those parts only come with the service/internals kit, at least for the CR model. Annoyingly, that "kit" includes all the oil seals as well and I imagine costs a fair bit. I'll inquire...

They arent to expensive and from my short time on the CR model spare parts are going to be needed.

I am looking for the same thing. MSRP on that kit (AV5781) is $25.00. Probably worth it if your slop is as bad as mine.
