I don't know the name of it but you need a specialty pair of plyers to remove the lock washer (not sure if that's what it's called either) on the underside of the lever housing. You have to remove the pivot pin, too. After loosening your clutch cable a bit, the lever should slide out the end of the housing.

Just did it today on my bike...per chance.

Loosen the Adjuster in the middle of the cable...

Loosen the Clutch adjuster screw in the hub (Behind Derby cover)...

Remove snap ring from pivot pin....

Romove pivot pin....

Viola.....



PS... Get a manual.. It's an investment.... And don't forget to readjust your clutch (To Specs) after you install the new lever....
