QR lever missing/broken.

[Boulderholder]

Hi. Just wondering if there’s a solution to this which I’m missing..?

I’m looking at buying an 1995 MTB and on inspection, the internally cammed rear QR skewer is missing the lever. The wheel is securely in place and tight on, but there’s just a hole where the lever should be.

Any ideas on how to remove the skewer?

Many thanks.

Unless broken, it sounds like the removable 'safety' type. Just a case of finding something that fits the hole, say a screwdriver, spoke, nail etc.....see if you can lever it backwards.

As above ... Screwdriver in the hole and molegrips on the other side and turn.... Unless you have an old skewer to remove the q/r lever and pop it in the one on the bike.
