replace my e-brake? I bought the race air leather momo shift knob and I wanted to buy an e-brake to go with it. How do I take mine off and put the new one on? <img src=icon_smile_sleepy.gif border=0 align=middle>

It's tough to get off, but with a little muscle, you can do it. It just twists off. You have to twist it, and pull forward at the same time. Like I said...use some muscle to get it going. Once it starts to move, it'll be easier. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

As far as the new one goes, it has little allen screws to keep it on tight. This is the one that I have:

thanks <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I can't see the picture of yours <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> Did you put yours on with the e-brake on or off? Just wondering which would be easier <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Off...you would need a pretty big and hefty handle to fit over the stock one. <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> I don't think there are even any out there made to fit over stock handles. <img src=icon_smile_shy.gif border=0 align=middle> Besides....getting rid of that old clunky stock one and replacing it with a nice aftermarket one helps the interior out ALOT!!!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

LOL 2k geez you must think that I'm a numbskull. LOL no what I was asking you, did you install yours with the ebrake off as in down (no e-brake on) or on as in up? Get me? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> I just wanted to know at which angle I would be able to work with it best <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
