In the aussie vernacular..........its a piece of piss mate !!
you need to back-off the adjuster on the clutch cable first, so you get as much free-play as possible at the lever end - this will allow you to pull the 'outer' out from the adjuster, slip the nipple out of the lever........then undo the lever pivot bolt, remove old shitty non-carbon-look lever, and replace with new shitty carbon-look lever .......assembly is reverse of dissasembly...
even easier on brake side, its just undo the pivot bolt. remove shitty lever, and replace with new mega-HP lever .......carbon-fibre look is *The Go* mate, for a blingalicious bike.........
