View Full Version : Emergency Brake Handle Bankswood 06-15-2009, 03:35 PM Anyone tell me a simple way to take the emergency brake handle off? I have a chrome replacement I would like to install. 1chiban 06-15-2009, 04:02 PM I installed this, there's no real beautiful way to do it. The black rubber handle is a friction fit just like the shifter knob, this was very difficult for me to pull of but it is just the case none-the-less. Brace yourself and pull hard, I twisted before pulling, made it easier. Let me know if you need something more clear.

Bankswood 06-15-2009, 08:18 PM My oem is leather not rubber but I assume it's friction held and I will need to twist and pull 1chiban 06-15-2009, 08:40 PM Didn't I say that? :(. Bankswood 06-15-2009, 10:06 PM Well you said your black rubber handle. Just making sure both leather and rubber were installed the same way. Thanks. I do appreciate your help. SupremeBein 06-15-2009, 10:06 PM I had to use vise grips to get mine off, just keep twisting and pulling at the same time. 850Girl 06-15-2009, 11:30 PM pix of new handles? 8eights 06-15-2009, 11:57 PM pix of new handles?Here's a few of the one's i collected over the years, I have Carbon steering wheels so i'm a little bias with carbon, Looks great with Blk on Blk cars. 8eights 06-15-2009, 11:59 PM Forgot this one. 850Girl 06-16-2009, 01:35 AM Thanks! i like the ebrake handles. the last shift knob (carbon down the center) looks like my current one. 8eights 06-16-2009, 01:40 AM That last knob is a acs, Co$ted a bit too... 1chiban 06-16-2009, 03:06 AM Marv, I had no idea you were a CF freak like me... I have CF every where, CF wheel too... what's yours? BTW, I like your e-brake handles. I was never able to find those CF ones, only ones that weren't as tasteful... let me know if you have an extra/where to get them. My friend broke my CF shifter (don't ask) so I'm using my friggin' old one again. Sigh. 8eights 06-16-2009, 04:10 AM Hiya Thomas! I'll let you know after i check tomorrow... My wheels are Victor, ACS and Hartge They all use the E36 Airbags. *none for sale* |
