How do I remove the E-brake handle?

[Mr. Orange]

I just purchased a 'Type-R' e-brake handle on e-bay, but I can't figure out how to remove the stock one. I tried turning it, but that didn't work. Anyone know how to remove the handle?

did you ever figure out how to do it. i just bought one of those and i went to my car and was like ummmm what the f*@k. So any info would be great

I think you just have to pull on it realllyyy hard, its like glued or something

i dont think so i think its connected to the pastic. i dont think i can install it Thanks Tom

well i just looked in the shop manual and i think your right, as far as i can tell
it doesnt look like it comes apart. usually if it can come apart it will be shown in an exploded view, but in this image it is all one piece. sorry couldn't help.

what some people are doing is using an exacto or razor blade to slit the rubber handle. It is glued on so you'll have to pull hard.

The item i bought says its screws on. its the whole handel. i dont know what cutting the rubber off will do to help me.

Looks like what you bought won't work. That sucks.
