How do you remove brake cable R80

[Windmill John]

Okay, what's the crack. This is embarrassing
I've removed enough levers before.
How do I remove the cable from brake lever to under tank cylinder; R80/7?
I've allowed as much slack at the cylinder end, I've removed the bolt from lever, so lever is hanging loose. There doesn't seem to be enough space to twist the lever so the cable drops outs.
Are there any little tips?
Cheers guys.

can you remove the lever pivot?

Clearly you shouldn't be allowed to own an Airhead. I'll be round shortly to collect and re home the poor bike

Lever pivot is removed.
Bike is back together now, but I can see that if I position the lever in such a way, I might be able to remove it from the cylinder end possibly.
I'm fitting new bars and cables, hence the question.

BTW Rob Farmer, Replacing rocker assemblies etc seems easier than removing this cable

I couldn't remember how I did it so I thought i'd take the p*ss instead

A bar mounted conversions a good move but can be a problem if you have an S fairing fitted.

I'll work it out.

Yes, I do have an 'S' fairing fitted, I am fitting higher bars for more comfort, possibly sometime in the future a bar mounted reservoir might happen.

Good luck with your 100R engine in your PD
