Remove the clutch cable anchor pin (1) from the hand lever.

Retaining ring opening must be positioned in approximately the same
location during assembly. Remove retaining ring.

inner and outer ramps together to keep balls from falling free.

be disconnected from the inner ramp lever arm. Disconnect coupling from
inner ramp. Disconnect cable end (4) from coupling.
7. Back out threaded cable fitting (5) from side cover.
