The bolt i spoke of holds the brake Handle to the long, but the hole that the bolt screws into is recessed, so the head of the bolt does not extend out of the Handle.
Picture please
I was going to take one but i didn't have a camera so i'll take one tomorrow, but right now its dark out, the barn is closed up, snow is on it's way and i'm in the house with the cats and the pellet stove.
Yes remove the 13mm hex head bolt. The handle will stick on the pivot pin. I get a pickle fork between it and the long. pry and move the handle up and down to get it off the pin.
The pins rust in and usually have to be driven out hold it in a vise. Rarely have I been able to remove them while in the car. Easy way is cut the cable if you have a spare.
Once you get the handle off of the pin you have some movement on the cable. If you can grind off the head of the pin in the bottom of the brake handle , pry the halves apart , you can separate the cable from the handle.
I have spare cables if you go that route to cut it.

Ok, good to know. I didn't think it was going to be that difficult but i'm happy to hear that it takes a little persuasion and cutting, i thought it was me.
One question though, how many bolts hold the handle assembly onto the long?
I have one bolt off, but there's another one that goes through the handle assembly.
Its almost directly above the pin.
thanks
