I cant get the freakin E-brake handle off. Any suggestions.
 

I have been working on getting this freaking thing off for a week. You just pull it off right. I bought a bunch of ichibahn stuff and this is holding me back on my interior mods.

Lets say I cant get it off. Could I crush it. Like with a pliers. This thing is really on there. I am a big guy(6'1'' 230lbs -NOT FAT-) I pulled on it for till my hand started cramping. I want to get the cloth boot and ichibahn handle on there.

not sure how to get it off.. but through up a pic of the ichibahn handle when you get a chance.. i am curious as to what it looks like

the entire ichibahn site is in pdf format. i cant link a picture.
IF you want to go see what they look like I have the GEAR series brake and shift handle. The sshift handle isnt on there. I dont know why.

what about some sort of slide hammer. I dont know how I would hook it up but its a idea.

the amount of feedback on this thread is insane.

i donot think that many people try to remove their e-brake handles.. sorry , i never have..

all these people who answer dont seem to know how to get it off. I need to hear from someone who knows how to get it out.

Why not razor blade it, that is if you don't plan on using it anymore.

i got it off. Man was it difficult. I was twisting it hard and all of a sudden i heard this light "crack" not of breaking plastic but of the handle seperating from the arm. it slid right off after that.

um........you might want to pull and twist really hard and then.......um............you'll hear a crack and um........it'll come off.

what?

Mine is broken anyway, it's hard to keep it ON.

You gotta crack the bottom halves apart and then the rest will start coming off.

For future reference:
If you take the bottom plastic cover off, the handle should slide right off cause there's nothing else holding it in place.

Fun, wasn't it? I was twisted around in my front pulling like crazy. The thing finally popped off and my elbow went flying through my windshield. It was already cracked and I was going to replace it, just not so soon.
