My mid controls are black and I have a chrome clevis (?) coming off the brake allowing the black diamond peg to be mounted. How can I remove the clevis for powder coating?

 

A little info on your bike would be great, as different bikes/years have entirely different mount/attachment options.

 

Crap, I need a sig huh? 08 Nighty. I'll be switching to forwards and using TXBandit's extensions as well.

 

If its like my forward controls on my 2010 48, there is a C-clip snap ring on the end that you need to pop off and then the clevis comes right off.

 

A 'C' clip will come off with a flat screw-driver blade, however they can also travel a long way if they break free! Smother it with a handful of cloth, so when it springs off you capture it. I wouldn't use bare hands to do that!

 

Nice, thanks guys!

 

A dentist's mirror makes it easier to see the cir-clip.

 

Buy a set of snap ring pliers they are cheap and will make the job easier.

 

+1 on having the right tool for the job. The snap ring pliers can also save the ring for reuse by only opening it enough to remove. Using a screw driver usually distorts it.

 

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
do this
i tried without the pliers for about 40min to do it. i was about ready to lay a turd on my bike. Pliers makes this job 1 billion [yes billion] times easier.
