Default need help w/ e-brake handle

ok guys i need ur know-how once again. im trying to put a momo e-brake handle in my 97 civic coupe to replace the stock one. i got the center console part off so that just the e-brake lever is exposed and i can see how to get the boot off it but.......i cant figure out how to get the handle off the e-brake lever thing itself. you know the part u grip with ur hand to pull it up.....yea its like perminantly on there....no screws, clips....nothing. so my question to u guys is how the hell do i get this thing off? cut it? thanx for ur time guys

Im pretty sure you just pull, seriously, i think it slides off. If that doesnt work, sure cut it, i mean why would you need to keep it?

yea the only way to get this thing off is to cut it...it took me about a half hour or so with a hack-saw. that thing was on there for good. i really dont believe anyone can just pull it off with brute strength. so if anyone is planning on doing this in the future, dont bother looking for any simple way to slip it off. best thing to do is grab a hack-saw or maybe a dremmel tool might work

Lol..well sawing would be the sensible thing to do...it's like really strong adhesive or something holding it in place....

If you don't feel like sawing....take a deep breath, get a good drip and tug away.....

I practically had both my feet on the seats pulling away...

Well I'm like 6'0 and a buck 140 lbs ...I'm not all that a strong person...lol..you probably will have better luck yanking it off...but sawing should be easier/quicker
