Got my bike back today after a week in the shop to complete the brake recall work. They took the bike in without a hitch. It was done in four days (a part had to be ordered) but I couldn't get back to the shop for another four. Easy-peasy.

My only complaint: the rear brake pedal has been attached in a different position, with the foot pad pointed closer to the ground and below the peg. Mighty uncomfortable. I tried to adjust it myself. Looked easy. Loosen the bolt, pull off the brake lever, rotate to the rear, slide back on, tighten the bolt. I got the bolt loosened just fine but couldn't pull the brake lever off. Any ideas about what I did wrong?
