Positive, maybe the the previous owner tightened them too much.

Parts 11 and 12 hold the levers to the bars. This is also true of plain aero bars.

Exactly what kind of brake levers are you talking about?
To remove aero brake levers that don't have shifters, pull the lever partially and look into the gap with a flash light. Use a phillips screwdriver or an allen wrench on the screw that you see and you'll loosen the brake lever clamp enough to slide it off the handlebar.
