Just a quick question regarding the clutch cable, the Uly has a tin bracket/guide at the clutch leaver. When I tried to totally remove my clutch cable to properly seat it into the bottom of the clutch cover I had to pry off the tin bracket/guide and when I put the bike back together I carefully put it back on. I didn't totally destroy it.

Is it possible to completely remove the clutch cable with the bracket/guide on? I couldn't get the cable to go through the small hole in the the triple clamp.
Is that bracket a replacement part?

thanks
