You will need to ask a more specific question ... we can assume you are talking about your brakes, but which part? Levers, brake pads, brake shoes, calipers, disc, drum, hydraulics, lines? Front or rear?

I hope the pics make it easier. the lever itself is not damaged but the thing that holds the lever and mirror is.

I have never done it but am guessing that it could be approached this way:

The grip needs to be slid off the handlebar.

The slotted silver screw is the pivot for the brake lever, so that needs to be removed.

The socket head cap screw tangent to the handlebar appears to be a binder screw/plug assembly. Loosening or removing that should allow the bracket to be slid off the bar.

There is an electrical connection there and and also a type a fastener/adjuster next to the cable. I can't give you any ideas on that without looking at it.

Good luck and let me know if this helped or if my head is up my arse again.
