Ok so i finally got the ***** to hack into the ebrake and its working for the most part... heres what i got done after about 4-5 hours,,,,, it sucked but hey thats my job, i **** up my car so you guys do it right....

Step: 1 Remove the ebrake cover.....

pull off the top of the center counsol

Twist the ebrake handle counter clockwise and it will click, pull it towards the radio and it will slide off


Now your stuck facing that piece i was afraid to cut....


i found out its nothing just cut it straight down the middle


go unti;l you get near the button and stop.... BTW dont cut the metal plate under this yet...
once you get near the top just rip the plastic off around the button and slide off....

OK this next part is what took about 4 hour.... i cant realy explain it because each ebrake is diff. basically this part you just "make your new handle fit"....My handle was alittle small, so i had to bore it out, amnd then cut the top and bottem rail thingys off the metal part shown above.... then i bent the rest of the metal part to make it srtonger and make the profile even lower to get the handle on...

thats just me bending it with some pliers

next i had to cut the handle down because it was too long... its just shoved on there right now is on good... i need a boot to put behind the handle and have to bore out the cap to fit over the button it looks kick ass though

biohazard

biohazard

just relized in the last pics it looks lake the handle is rlly close to the front more middle counsel... its not its just the angle..... also does anyone know where i can get an ebrake boot?

redlineblueline

if you want you could sew one up yourself.

Autozone sells them.
Or you could go to ebay. BTW: that looks good. I might be doing this.

biohazard

ill check ebay.... iyou do this just a warening... its rlly fking hard.... when you buy your new ebrake handle, get the biggest inside diameter one you can find.... would make this 10X easier

biohazard

just bought a black boot for $15 shipped... they come in red,yellow,blue,and silver too.... *cough match your exterior color cough*,,, ill get the website up asap
