I bought a set of second hand eTap HRD Shifters.
Dude said the left shifter was leaking, but just needed new bladder. Fair enough.

Got the shifters, waited a couple months until new frame arrived. Now trying to build. Turns out the bladder is leaking because one of the bladder cover screws is broken inside the shifter. The bladder needs replaced too, but that's secondary.

How on earth do I get this out? It's super tiny.

Also, apparently the replacement bladder kit I bought is the wrong one. So anyone know where I can buy one or have a part number?

Centerpunch then a small left-hand drillbit. It can also be done with a very small chisel/punch and a hammer held at ~45° angle, touching just near the stub’s edge.

Caveat: if you don’t have much mechanical experience, all of the above can go horribly wrong. Finding a ‘mechanic ‘ who is skilled is another issue entirely.

Proceed with caution.
