removing clutch and brake lever

Just release the slack on the cable adjuster then line up the slot so you can pull the cable out then undo the screw holding the lever to the bars. Job done. If you can get enough slack then undo the screw first and move the now loose lever to work the cable out of the slot.

And be sure to carefully grease the round nipple on the end of the clutch cable. If it doesn't rotate freely in the slot of the lever, it will snap the cable over time. Newer cables even come with a plastic cover on the nipple to help reduce friction...
On the brake lever side, be careful not to lose the very small round spacer that actuates the break light switch. It’s in the handle bracket housing and easily falls out, and can be tough to find on the ground.... I was lucky to spot it when I changed my levers...;-)

Brake lever spacer? Not sure I noticed one
Can I get a schematic or photo somewhere?

I think I just did something bad and need your advice.
Front brake lever no problemo.
With the adjuster screwed all the way in there was just not enough play to pull the cable out. So like I have done on a hundred bikes before, I took my soft jaw pliers, compressed the clutch a little using the lever down at the housing, and took the clutch cable out of the bottom end.
When going to hook up the cable again at the bottom end now my clutch will not move hardly at all. It is like something inside the case got out of alignment or something.
Have I just screwed the pooch and will have to dive into the side cover or what.
Thanks.

sounds a bit odd, since all you are doing is moving the clutch arm on the case manually, instead of by the cable. I can't really give any advice, because I don't know enough about this clutch and what could damage it...
