A Quick Help Needed

The Brains of MLOC. How do I remove the handbrake cover? I can't seem to be able to slide it over the handle. Am I missing something or do I need to apply brute force?

 

I need to remove it this afternoon so I can take it to Donny tomorrow.

 

Cheers all.

I believe the Handle should be taken out. It must be removeable since there's aftermarket ones...

 

I can't tell you how since I haven't done it... If I find something in the service manual, I'll come back to you

if its the horrible black plastic sleeve your on about?

 

 

I did mine with a stanley knife one good cut from top to bottom and it just pulls off.

 

then replace it with a nice alloy one !

 

 

hope this helps

 

Yeah, its the original black handle. I guess I should get my credit card ready to purchase a new one tomorrow.

 

I will go and try that.

 

Thanks all.

All done :D .

 

I tried the Stanley knife approach and feared for my life. So out came my trusted Dremell. It took about a minute to slice its way through the plastic and after the smoke cleared, it was just a matter of pulling the handle off.

 

Much safer method I thought.

 

Thanks all.

 

Now, where is that Visa...
