Try disconnecting the brake lines. Should come out pretty easy.

you just want to replace the handle?

just give that handle a good pull and twist. you might need to put a small flat head screw driver on the back to help get it loose.

i used two hammers and hammered it off with one acting as an extended base and the other to tap the e-brake handle off. worked for me in 30 seconds.

HAcksaw and Caution is all you need. Good way to vent frustration as well.
