Remove the lever. It may be tight, but once the bolt is removed, just pull it out. If you have trouble removing the lever, it may be that the choke/turn signal housing is preventing the lever from getting past it. The mount for the clutch lever is adjustable ~~up and down on the bar~~. A single bolt secures it. If the clutch lever mount and the choke/signal housing are too close to each other on the handlebar, loosen that mounting bolt slightly and wiggle the clutch lever mount slightly farther toward the center of the bike.

Reinstalling is these steps backwards. Make sure you don't break the switch on the reinstall. It should be lined up. The plunger is the delicate part.
