Mentally picture the clamp that goes around the handlebar as having a bolt sticking out of it down the center of the shifter body. Then peel back the lever hood (from the front of the bike toward the handlebars) and you will see a cavity in the lever body. Stick a 5 mm allen wrench into that hole and wiggle it around until it drops into the allen nut. The allen wrench will be pointed toward the handlebar. The nut is right hand thread and you just keep turning it until the lever comes loose.any detailed descriptions of how to tighten and loosen mounting clamp on 10 speed shifters
