Once you have enough slack, detach the brake 
cable just behind the brake cable adjustment nut. 

Depress the locking tabs on the brake cable guide 
and slide it out through the hole in the frame. 
Unthread the brake cable from the frame mount. 

Slide the brake cable guide into the Brake Cable 
Bracket provided in the parts kit. Use the Hex Bolt, 
8mm Washer and Nylock Nut from the kit to mount 
the Brake Cable Bracket to the frame. 

Reattach the brake cable and adjust the brake cable 
adjustment nut to its original position.
