I am looking to get a new aluminum e-brake handle. Does anyone have any sites they recommend? Also, was looking at mine the other day and I wasn't quite sure how remove it. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

There are a ton of places to get Ebrake handles. Try this place first. Sometimes they run group deals and you can pick one up for around $20.

I have some other websites too just let me know if you want them too. As for taking off the your stock ebrake handle you just need to tap it from behind with a rubber mallet or hammer. I used a piece of 2x4 and just gave it a couple quick taps and it was loose enough to take off by hand. It's not screwed in or anything.

Id reccomend first heating up the handle with a blow dryer or heat gun. Then use a block of wood and a heavy mallet and tap it off.

To install the new one you will have tap it down into place. I used a steel rod and a mini-sledge hammer to get it far enough down to make the button show through like the stock did. I didnt use any screws cause it will never come off.
