sexysupra Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 How the hell is this done. I tried turning it both ways, both are really stiff and it just seems to turn and not actually uscrew. To my amazement also, there seems to be no posts on here with other people having the same problem so i guess im just being blonde;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexysupra Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 i have a standard manual one, but its looking a little tired. I would like a new black leather one and possible a new handbrake cover in leather too like the rickbrook ones but they only seem to do euro cars. anyone help with either problems? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It just unscrews, takes a while but it should come off. Handbrake covers a PITA sometimes and u have to cut the old leather off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexysupra Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 so should i be turning it clockwise or anticlockwise as it seems to turn both ways just as easy?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 so should i be turning it clockwise or anticlockwise as it seems to turn both ways just as easy?? I forget now, but one way should tighten it back up? try pulling up slighty on it and turning it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 so should i be turning it clockwise or anticlockwise as it seems to turn both ways just as easy?? If it's a stock one it should just unscrew by turning anticlockwise. The thread is quite fine so it'll take quite a few turns to remove. If it's not coming off then the thread might be b*ggered, try pulling it upwards at the same time as turning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
