removing handbrake handle

[Guest cashie2000]

can anyone tell me how to take the hanbrake handle off? ive tried the obvious and it doesnt want to shift

[TRACIE_LOU]

are you talking about the handbrake grip? or the whole handbrake itself?

Assuming you don't want to put it back on , cut the stitching underneath and pull it off. That's what I done

yes just the grip. any ideas where i can get a replacement? been looking at polished ones but having trouble finding anything good.

I've also been looking how to get my handrake cover off! If it possible to replace the handle with an after market one? Mine is very tarnished...

You can get the whole handbrake assembly at a relativly acceptable price. I think its just about 100£.

Alternatively get a upholsterer to make a new grip from the old one... I've got no clue what that will cost.

I did this a long time ago, i wanted to do it slowley but surely, i removed my driver seat, centre console + lid, pulled the carpet back near the handbrake, handbrake of on flat ground, theres a clip over the cable you need to pull up or out (which bends back later) dont remember how to get the cable of, but it a 17 year old dummy could do it im sure you can, after the the cable is of, 2 big bolts to remove the unit, then reverse this step to fit it:)

EDIT, if its just the grip, most aftermarkets slip over the stock one with some washing up liquid
