unless you are running brakes that do not have a 2 bolt clamp at the lever (pretty much all brakes are two bolt these days).... simply take the lever off the bar oster_oops:
Yeah, You can pull the lever off instead, but then you're stuck with the lever, cable, and caliper assembly flopping all over the place while you tear down the fork. Not to mention the possbile exposure of your brake pads to all kinds of lube, oil, and Tri-flow over spray.
