Floor boards have rust issues. One spot is under and behind the e-brake handle. This bugger won't come off. Removal without (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) destuction seems impossible.
Has anyone had success taking off rusty handles? Is there a lock washer that I'm missing? ( yes, I unbolted the cam ). I would also take off the handle to clean and repaint. It squeeks and is pretty tough to move up and down. I'm guessing is has the same type of plastic bushings that the pedal clusters have. Is this part replaceable or do I need to buy a new $200 handle, if they exist? Thanks for the help. I know this is a common problem for a lot of 914s. Tony |

I managed it after a lot of cussin'
I put a crow bar between the long and the back of the handle so that the leverage was hitting the handle right at the axle. Then worked the handle up and down and it slowly worked its way off. The tip of the axle has rusted which makes it bigger - that's what is stopping it from coming off. There is a nylon bushing between the handle and the axle that wears down as you are doing the cranking thing. |
