Basicaly there is no good way or even possible way I can figure to install new hoods without removing the levers in most cases reataping on on most bike exspeciallaly vintage stuf you will need to rerun the cables there is just no way around it. So if you rebuilding it is just best to get the hoods wrap and cables and do it all at ounce.
