No nuts, bolts, screws or nails. Can't see any clips, grommets, latches, jubilees or clamps. I've pulled pretty hard, but maybe I need to pull harder. So how in the hell do I remove the Handbrake Handle from my '98 Rover? |

It's just pushed on, but because its rubberised its hard to remove. Ive seen the odd one glued on too - not sure if that was factory or not though. |

Try warming it up with a heat gun to make it release a bit. They are fitted tight. |

Thanks guys. I think I'll buy a proper heat gun on the way home. The Missus' hair dryer just isn't cutting it these days. |

Try twisting it - that often helps. |

You need to stick your tongue out just a little. A filter strap can help break the seal. |

Yep, mine was glued on. After some prying, heating and clever use of fencing wire I managed to slide it off. I installed my fly-away handbrake and had some fun on a rainy Sunday in an empty carpark. I also found out that my cable needs some adjusting, as the passenger side didn't want to lock quite as nicely as the driver side. Good times.
