Hey all,

Could someone point me in the right direction on how to remove the gear knob and handbake handle?

Am i right in thinking the gear knob lower part turns off then you undo a grub screw?

And for the handbrake handle i can't seen to get the garter lower enough without removing some stitching.

Thanks in advanced

Mark

Are you trying to take off the originals or aftermarket ones?

If its a Standard Handbrake with a black handle, the handle is glued on, the easiest way to get it off is to cut it off with a stanley knife (assuming you don't need to use it again). If its a Leven one there are 2 or 3 small Allen head grub screws underneath it.

Undo the Gear Knob using a plumbers wrench (or similar) with plenty of rags to protect the knob, and unscrew it.

But look on the bright side, you've got into a Cerb and out of the Saxo.

You're cured.

...but don't be a total donkey like I was! weeping F*****g stanley knife slipped and cut the handbrake shroud. Serves me right for changing the h/b handle on Christmas morning after the wife bought it for me.

Whats's the chances of getting a replacement (in Prussian Blue)and anyone know where from?
