Really easy. Remove snap ring, push pin out and remove lever (after you loosen the slack aduster on the clutch cable). Reverse to install. There is a part in the instructions that reference putting a thin piece of cardboard on the brake lever side to release the pressure on the stop light switch tab. I never have done that and never had any problems (knock on wood) although some here have reported breaking off the tab on the light switch.

yeah, what they said its easy. If you go to sears you can get a pair of snap ring pliers for under 10$ dont need them but they come in handy for other things too. like replaceing clutch cable and such.
