Attempting to remove my ebrake handle to try and overhaul it. I've had a search in the garage and tried the pelican site but haven't found a decent thread on the subject. Does anyone know a thread with some photos on how to take the handle off and strip it?
Thanks, Nick |

So, just back from a temp trip away with work and thought I'd try and get the handle off to refurb it.
From anyone that's done this, is the handle secured to the pivot pin with a bolt or does it just drift on with a v tight fit? The parts diagram and Haynes manual doesn't really show any bolt, just a bushing (part9 in the caralogue). Does anyone know if there's a nut on the pivot pin that holds the handle on that has to be removed. I can't see one on the car? Thank you |

The bolt actually holds the ratchet part of the handle. The handle is usually held on the pivot by rust and grime. It will come off with some hard persuasion, not to hard or you will bend it. I used a small pry bar wrapped in leather between the car body and the handle, while lifting the handle up and down. I’ve found the harder part was the pin that was rusted and made the cable and handle as one. I had to use a cutting wheel to get it off, fortunately I had an extra pin and clip. |

Hey, that's fantastic information and will hopefully stop me damaging it; I'll keep working the releasing fluid and try to lever it off - its really stiff. The pawl inside the handle has seized and I need to dismantle it all to get this refurbed again. Thanks again! |
