Brake pivot..

Brake pivot..
I noticed today that Campy brakes do not have a pivot on them like Shimano brakes. I usually loosen the pivot on the Shimano brakes to take the front wheel off but now on my Campy brakes I just push the wheel through the brakes, am I doing it right?

Forcing them is not the right thing to do.
I am a Shimano user but here is my understanding from what I have seen people doing. Campy don't have a cam type quick release on the calipers but a quick release mech built into the lever. On Veloce I think I remember a pin on the inside of the lever. You pull the brake lever a little then press in then pin, when you release the lever it allows the calipers to open wider than normal.
Hope that helps
