buy the trike supplement service manual. Explains in detail, easy to do manual will cost less than the labour and it needs adjusting often

Slide the long rubber protective boot back. It is a simple threaded bolt and jam nut arrangement. Pedal should be adjusted (per the trike supplement manual) so the 4th click down holds. This cable does stretch a lot when new. Jamming the pedal down contributes to stretching. My 2014 has 26k miles and between the Dealer and myself, it has been adjusted about 6 times. I will soon be replacing all brake pads and adjusting it back out!!!

It actually explains the procedure in the owner's manual. Takes two different size open end wrenches. One is metric btw, the other is SAE. Still haven't figured that one out.
