Replacing levers on M1100 - need help

[mickb]

Hi,
I feel really dumb asking, but Ican't see how to remove the plunger / barrel from the existing brake lever assembly. Once its off the bike I can't get enough clearance to slide the plunger barrel out....any clues

Ive changed levers on my M1100.... dont remember there being any difficulty??  Tell again to tell me what it is that you cant achieve?  Me confused...

It should be almost identical on your bike, if not identical.

I did look at that thread, but the barrel / plunger assembly is slightly different to the M1100. The problem was when taking the old levers off, the barrel & plunger which fits into the master cylinder was v.difficult to remove from the old levers.

I was able to prise it off in the end, but its wasn't easy!

mate; I found the same thing!.. not as easy as my old Monster. I believe when I received my Pazzo levers there was a piece of metal in the box that that allowed it to unlock from the barrel.
