So, I dropped my TA and the back brake pedal ended up wedged between the engine casing and the plastic fairing and I need to get it off. I spent the (entire!) weekend trying to get it off, but it's impossible, although I can detach everything (and put it back :)) except the pinch bolt. The Haynes manual is not very useful, really I think it's a matter of leverage and my little stubby spanner and skinny arms just aren't doing it. Am wondering if anyone here can tell me the magic incantation/dance involved to get the thing loose, or - as the bike is (carefully) ridable - if someone has the right (also magic?) tool that I could come and use? I'm completely at a loss here... Thanks in advance :)
