Hi Geoff,
If you scroll down my Z1-R rebuild pics the rear brake lever and spring positioning gets mentioned a couple of times with photos.

The pics will enlarge if you click on them - which might help you a bit.
It's much easier to work out with no swinging arm fitted !!

I made a spring puller from old wire coat hanger for this and the main stand spring.
One tip is to remove the brake lever adjusting bolt and nut from the frame - to allow it to rotate that bit extra - then re-fit them when it is on.

Good luck from Mark
