Ditto! Except I want to do the reverse of what he wants to do. I want to remove this stupid aftermarket Razo e brake that I have on there and go back to stock. I cant figure out how to get it off.

i heard you just need to pry it off. Stock slips on really tight and aftmkt is a good question. they could have screwed it on or glued it, sometimes on top of the stock handle so you might have to get a new stock handle if it's got glue and holes in it

Many models need to be sawed off. I'd wait for someone with your model to confirm though.

Man, sawing off the e-brake handle? That's crazy. But I mean, I guess you have to do what you have to do. I have a 1992 Honda Civic, would I have to saw that off also?

use the mighty flat head screw driver

i changed my e-brake using a flat head screw driver. I sat in the back seat of my car and i pointed the flat head screw driver to the top of the e-brake. Then use all of your might to push forward. Make sure you get a towel or something to cover your shift to not get it scratch. believe me!!!! It came off in 15 mins having 25 tries. Good luck!!!!

also in terms of sawing it off, if you have a dremel you can saw it "along its length" till it hits the metal part, then simply pry it off

i get the feeling most people think "sawing off" means right at the root LOL,

you'd twist the arm if you did it that way... I cut mine along the sides and then forced it off w/ a big screwdriver and pliers

(sorry it took me so long to repost)

I've tried to twist mine off with no results. Couldn't get it off no matter how hard I tried.
