    Put the kettle on to make yourself a nice cup of tea & you should have it changed over before it even boils mate.

    Slacken of cable adjuster at lever end, lining up the groove in the adjuster & securing collar (noting how many threads are exposed) pull cable outer to expose inner cable & release the inner cable through the groove, unhook cable end from lever. Lever should be held in with a fixed head bolt or could be a slotted head & either an 8mm or 10mm nut on the bottom. Loosen nut, remove bolt & remove old lever.

    Insert new lever, fasten with nut & bolt. Locate cable end in the lever, pull outer cable to expose inner cable, slide inner cable into grove & locate outer cable back into the cable adjuster. Unwind cable adjuster to show the amount of exposed threads that you had prior to removal & tighten the adjusting collar by hand.

    If you can't get enough slack in the cable by winding in the adjuster as far as possible then you may need to slacken off the cable at the adjuster bracket on the clutch cover, again, making note of how many threads are showing. Or alternatively, get a helper to turn the clutch lever arm for you whilst you unhook the cable at the lever end.
