Has anyone here been able to install a new clutch lever without having to drain the tranny fluid and drop the transmission side cover? I loosened the jam nut and set the clutch adjustment cable as loose as it would go (about 7 turns) and still couldn't get enough slack to pull the lever out of its housing. I can do the extra work, but this has turned into more than you would have thought to just swap out two levers. And it's too cold to be working on the bike outside for more than 1/2 hour.
Also, it doesn't say anything about in the directions, but would you put in a new retaining ring? It seems like cheap insurance. I might just be paranoid, but the old ring didn't seem to fit as tight after I replaced it. Thanks.
