Yep, to the above, but you might then discover you still ain't got enuff slack to make it happen.
Once you get the old lever off you will see 1 little something you were fighting-the white nylon bushing is too long to easily slip in tween the gap offered by the lever bracket....file/sand the nylon bushing a little shorter so it will go in.
The other thing that's preventing you from getting it off is usually there ain't enuff slack even tho you relaxed the adjuster all the way.....if that's the case, you have to pull really hard on the outer cable in a direction directly along it's line of travel as you attempt to work the lever out of it's position....this pulling motion compresses the clutch pac springs and allows that extra little bit you need to get it off/on.
I just went thru this yesterday adding chrome levers, so I know and understand.

Lever
Just follow the clutch cable down and you will see a rubber accordion type deal. Oull that down and there it is!
It takes a 9/16 and 1/2 inch wrench.
It won't hurt anything to loosen it up. Just put it back where you took it from.

I hope you found it and marked the amount of threads showing before you loosen it. If you did good on you. for what reason you are taking the lever off I am sure you want the cable adjusted the way it was before you loosen it. counting on the threads and marking them with marker is a good way to let you know where it was.
