Rob, I just did it last weekend while I was changing the shift and throttle cables. I had to remove the brake so I could slide the chain all the way forward to get the cables changed. Re-installing the brake was easy by comparison. As Sylvain and others have mentioned, after removing the compass, also remove the next layer of the pedestal to make access easier. It's very easy to put the pieces of the brake in - the wheel and shaft just screw into the port brake piece. I pulled a piece of twine through the eye of the cotter pin so that if I dropped the pin while installing it, it would not disappear down the pedestal. Then just pull the twine out when the legs on the pin are properly bent. It all went fairly smoothly.
