removing emergency brake handle

Quik dumb question: How do you get the emergency brake handle off? It doesn't seem to unscrew, and it doesn't seem like it pulls off either.

It's glued on. Get a pair of leather gloves, straddle the center console, and twist the handle with all your might. Should come off, hopefully in one piece.

Re: removing emergency brake handle (puhlode)

i'm having the same problem - did you get your brake handle off yet? the tin snip idea is sounding like the best solution.....

I'm just going to cut the boot since I want to keep the handle.

Vx will be fully gutted once completed
