                Can I request a video of how to remove the brake switch cables from the front lever assembly? I cannot figure this out!

                    There is a small hole facing forward. There is a little locking tab on the wires that locks into that hole. Push something in that hole and pull the wires out.

I'm sick of cutting my damn fingers with this damn screwdriver so someone post a picture or video of this damn hole I'm supposed to shove this damn screwdriver in because I'M LOSING IT OVER HERE

                                                workshop space saver idea

                                                some thing I,ve been meaning to do for some time, catalogue and store parts, but where to put them
                                                how about this, make pidgeon holes using less than a sheet of 8mm ply, 5 ltr containers with the side cut out of them and position it in the space above the roller door

                                                [/IMG]
                                                what materials to use ?? I just happened to have 2 lengths of 25mm box section 2.7mtr long, and used some 1/4 " threaded rod and a few nuts and washers from the hardware store to hold the show up

                                                [/IMG]

                                                as usual, feel free to knock one up or improve on

                                                if this fails pics can be seen here
