How to replace front brake lever?

Some DB knocked my bike over parked on the street and the front brake lever is now bent. I have little maintenance experience - anyone know how to replace it once I order the new part? Thanks!

Don't have an RR (or F4i, if thats what you have) but every bike I've ever worked on, there's just a nut (a castle nut or similar) and a bolt. Thats it. Pop the bolt out, lever falls off.

Got a pic from the parts fiche for an 03-04. Just as I thought, one bolt with a castle nut on the bottom.

I can't upload pics from work, but its extremely simple.

Try this link, but it might not work.
