Look, a few questions.
Why do you have to remove the Ergo brain at all? Can't you just not use it? Don't the levers just work as if there is no electric stuff in there at all?
Once the wires are cut, it is of no value, and your levers which contain a dead EB might be impaired in value, as well. There are a lot of Generation 2 Ergopower lever sets on Ebay. Can you not just buy a set of levers, same # of speeds, same clicky patterns, same materials and just unbolt them from the handlebar clamps? You should not have even to disturb the tape if you extract the inner cables from the housings/levers together.
