It is simpy a 'brake shoe' that rubs against and stops the
flywheel. If you take the starter cover off it will more than
obvious how to remove it. it simply lifts off in most cases

If you don't have an on/off switch (if the mower only stops
by releasing the safety handle) you can get a flip lever that
bolts next to the spark plug and grounds the engine dead when
flipped. The rubber boot on the plug will need to be removed
to use this.
