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 |

Mine stuck so well the PO ripped the pin welds loose. It rotated fine once the welds let go... Wobbled a little though.
I had to drill out the bracket welds, remove the E-brake handle, pin and bracket as an assembly. Then I soaked the bejeeezus outta the pin/handle, and used an aluminum rod to pound the pin out. Yup, soak and rotate, soak and rotate, soak and rotate. Do that for a week and see if things are better. If not, add heat, but don't catch the interior on fire...... Ken |
