Leven handbreak handle

[griffmike]

Some days ago I bought the handbreak handle from Leven Technology. To assemble the handle was no problem, but how can I replace the old plastic release button?

Did you not get a new button with the handbrake?

[griffmike]

Yes, I have the Leven button, spring and washer. But I don´t know, how to replace it and I don´t want to damage the original part.

It should unscrew, May have to put a cloth over it and use large pliers or Grips.
The new one should have a nylon insert that will be quite tight to get on too. Get it nice and square and try and get it started by hand and then use cloth and pliers if it becomes to hard to thread on.

Yep, it should unscrew. I used a pair of dishwashing gloves to unscrew, the rubber makes them nice and sticky, the misses wasn't to pleased with the result it had on the gloves, but that's another story.
