		I've repeatedly yanked and yanked as hard as I can. I've twisted it and tried pulling it at the same time yet no matter how hard I try, it just won't come     
Of course I'm talking about my handbrake. I can't work out how the rubber handle comes off. Any ideas?

		Was just wondering because when ever I take the centre console out, I've gotta try and force it over so it's all ripped up and snagged.

Handbrake:  http://www.lkperformance.co.uk/hand-brak...-fr/218633
Gaiter:  http://bit.ly/zKc1WL
WIN?
 
Edit: On the other hand, £100 is a lot of money for a handbrake.

		Seriously, I have a gear one on mine just tucked into the slot around the lever, just remove the plastic frame round the bottom first (obviously) 
 
You want me to take pics of mine when I leave work?
