Hi, what I thought might be an easy cable replacement on my old R850gs turns out to be a snapped actuator lever. Any ideas on the cost of getting this sorted as I think it’s a swing arm off job? Also any recommendations of a mechanic in or around York?
Cheers all.

I was able to replace it on my 1100GS by removing the rear wheel and rear shock.
Some folks have told me that small enough hands can do it without removing those parts, I was unable to.

also I suggest the welded stainless arm instead of the fragile OEM cast part.
