I am looking at replacing the handbrake handle (on a '96 car) with a different type but would like to know how the current handle is held in place.

Is it bonded on? How easy is it to remove?

 

i had to pry mine off. it was glued on there. i started by cutting the threads.

 

So removing the handle without damaging it is almost impossible?

 

i dont think it can be done without damaging the stock handle. i had to cut the threads off to get to the rubber part. the rubber part is glued on there pretty damn good. i cut mine with a razor down the middle and it was still a pian to get off.

OK Thanks.

I'm asking because the handle I'm looking at is fairly universal and I didn't feel like cutting the handle apart to find that the new one doesn't want to fit properly.
