So you've done this with NR levers? How did it turn out? I wasn't worried about the anodizing remover damaging the steel, I was more concerned about sanding around it since it protrudes. I was actually thinking of just sanding off the anodizing with 220 grit since that's what I use to remove most rash from alloy components before polishing, but is it better to chemically remove the anodizing first?
