Fun???? ...And you'll rent him the lever (with a deposit sufficient to replace it if he doesn't come back (after all, he'd have the tool then, and would just need a small yellow page ad to hit the tuning trail)), and sell him the wire (of the appropriate diameter(s)?) for just about what the service call would have cost to go out and do it yourself (which you might just have to do anyway)?
