if you think your brakes are worn out because you have no cable adjustment left, then I doubt you need a new brake cluster.
When this brake sysytem came out, service guys would adjust the cable at every service interval and that was wrong, they were inducing cable stretch. Yamahas response was to make a more robust cable. Didn't matter, the service guys still did it wrong and adjusted the cable.
Anyway, as another stated, the brakes last a long long long, did I say a long time?

If your just running out of cable adjustment but the cart still stops, just buy a new cable.

As for the job itself, rearend has to come out, split the case, remove the brake cluster, install new friction discs and plates, and put it all back together.

Im pretty sure yamaha has discontinued all the parts, so your stuck with aftermarket, not sure how well that will hold up in the long run. Most aftermarket parts are junk.
