help with sti upgrade

Good evening all,
I'm trying to install sti levers on an mid-90s cannondale bike (yes, I think it's worth it) and everything looks good except I can't get the old brake levers off. They're shimano 600 from about 1995 and I can't find a loosening nut or anything resembling one. Anybody know how to get rid of this thing, or a source for online info?

Loosen the brake cable at the caliper. Depress the brake lever and look inside. A 5mm hex bolt should be staring you in the face.Turn it counterclockwise.
