Hi Elelphants,
I unclipped the wire from the frame, traced it into the wiring box and just disconnected it there. The wiring's rather tight so its a bit of a squeeze getting it all back in again afterwards, but its not too hard.
What you will have to watch is the tool you use to undo the cassette - Shimano's own, and the the Park one won't work because the axle diameter is too great to fit through the hole in the centre of the tool. Drilling that hole out is almost impossible as the alloy is so hard. I have a (cheaper) alternative made by Cyclepro (CPT203) which has a square hole designed to take a socket driver (not needed as you usually just clamp it in a vice and turn the wheel to remove the cassette), which is large enough for the axle and wiring to be easily threaded through.
Hope that helps, cheers Phil
