Gear lever side looks fine, but the instructions tell me to drain and undo the rear brake cylinder. Is there a crafty way to do the job without draining the hydraulics?
Thanks,
- Pasta

You have to be careful with the brake line as not to crease it while you are slightly bending it to get to the mounting hardware. You will have to get some hex sockets tho.
