What's the trick - micro switch

[Dawgboy]

What's the trick to disconnecting the rear break without stressing the wires on the pressure switch?

I would suggest removing the caliper from the rotor and then turning the caliper instead of the switch.

The brake line is a hard line and is restricted by a gromet on the frame. Couldn't clear the rotor without disconnecting. This stresses the electrical connector on the micro switch

Do you have a service manual

If your wanting to pull the rear brake and mount you need to slide the axel out and drop the wheel then the bracket will slide out giving you room to either disconnect or pull apart the brakes then. This is what I do easier then trying to wrestle and twist everything and taking a chance of breaking or scratching the shit out of something.

Thanks. Figured there had to be a simpler solution than what I was doing.

No problem.............Yeah good concept but little room to work with between the rotor, brake, and bracket inside that rear wheel.

Had that issue on another bike of mine and my solution was to cut the wires once and put connectors in the line.
When I put it back on I wire tie it on both ends of the connectors so it doesn't move or disconnect while riding.
