Clutch cable service

Something I never gave much thought to, until tonight. Afterwards, I was amazed at the difference in feel. Something so simple and taken for granted by many: Clutch cable lubrication.

Doing this was posted a while ago, but I thought I might as well do a sticky while doing it, to show everyone.

Undo your clutch cable adjustment. Run the barrel all the way in, creating as much slack as possible at the lever.



Afterwards, pull the cable housing out of the lever housing, and then pass it through the slot and away from the control pod.





Next, you need to remove the clip from the bottom of the pivot pin, that holds the lever on. You'll need tiny snap-ring pliars to do this. Or be creative with a pick and a screwdriver.





Once you remove the pin, you'll find a plastic barrel, that holds the clutch cable end into the lever. Remove it, and the lever will separate from the cable.
