Should actually be three pieces, two larger plates and a small one; each with a 
slot that fits over the neck of the cylinder.  One
of the larger plates has tabs that engage slots in the other large plate.  
You'll have to jamb a screwdriver or something in there
to disengage the tabs, then tap out the plate that has it's opening towards the 
brake lever.  Once it is out, work the lever out of
place and the other two tabs should come out easily with the lever out of the 
way.

You can find basically the same instructions in the appendix to the factory 
workshop manual (later edition with the TR3 supplement).

Note that the drawing they gave (which is copied in many other places) is 
wrong.  But the text description is correct.
