Removing handbrake handle/sleeve

john116 · 24th October 2019, 17:32

Hi - how do you remove the handbrake handle/sleeve? Have found many related postings on here, but couldn't find one that definitively advises how to do this. I have a walnut finished one that I want to put on instead of the leather one that is currently there.

Twist and pull, not forgetting the gaiter is held on with a rubber ring

I think the gaiter comes away with handle,so need to disconnect that 1st.

Clockwise or anticlockwise?

Doesn't matter, just don't smack your hands on the dash 😄

Is the twist necessary? I thought it was just a pull - towards the dash.
