Shimano 105 5800 shifter teardown

Date: 2021-10-16

I take apart a right hand Shimano 11-speed road bike shifter and get the shifting mechanism down to it its component pieces except for some parts that are press fit or peened together.

Fair warning: do not try this at home if you are not comfortable with small parts, and springs or circlips that may potentially go flying off. I use some tools in manners they are not designed- at one point I use a hobby knife in what some may consider to be an unsafe manner. Do not copy me. Instead, find and use a more appropriate tool.

I apologize for the parts sometimes not being easily visible- the camera's brightness setting was being thrown off by my white background and I should have held the parts in the center of the camera frame better, especially near the end of the video.

I have been able to put the shifter back together, but I'm not sure whether I will be making a reassembly video. Some of the reassembly steps may not be very clear with a single fixed camera view.
