My Europiccola lever has become loose where it attaches to the fork:

There doesn't appear to be any way of tightening it. The head that holds it has a hole, as you can see, but there is no hex to use an Allen wrench. It seems to be peened on... or something.

There was a discussion here about this about 9 years ago, but nothing very helpful was said beyond getting a new lever/fork.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Break out the 2lb hammer and have at it. Only 1 shot to get it right.
