Simple question: How do I remove the rear brake lines from the clamps that are attached to the swingarm? The Haynes manual says to use a screw driver. Do I bend the clips/clamps up and pull the brake line out from underneath? I tried that briefly, but it felt like I might break something.
I just bend the tabs. Only a little movement is required to get the line out. The tab can be tapped back into place when the new line is installed.
OK. It just didn't seem like I could bend them w/o breaking them. I'll give it another go later.
Mine weren't that tight.I slid a #2 phillips between the line and the clip.

I'm not suggesting a major bend! Just the slightest tab movement was required (in my case) to get the brake line free.
