that works most every time Gyro
however, rmoval of that bracket isn't necessary, as noted by Shen and Mojo, the cable can be removed and re atached without taking the bracket off

that's true, I got mine for less than $10, and I'm glad to have it
still, a JIS beats all billy hell out of a Phillips on a japanese bike, and works better than most would expect

If you're using a Phillips screwdriver that's part of the problem
these screws look like Phillips but are in fact JIS, with a different profile than a Philips, and using a Phillips with strip them quick
do you have the screwdriver from the factory tool fit? It will be JIS, and should work better
by the way, the link doesn't work, I get an error message
