thx for ur info but i am still not too sure of how to undo the ring on the top, i am quite confuse actually , is there another way?

[Baker]

You just pull and it comes off. Its the only way to get it off. Its really easy - once you do it, you'll wonder what you made a fuss about

The leather Gaitor bit is the most annoying!

[Baker]

But its not really hard... pretty simple to do, a very easy mod. I'd rate the difficulty of it as the same as replacing your gear knob!

Which handbrake lever did you end up going with?

ok thx alot , ;let me try it tmr, hope its gonna be all right , i am putting the hamann one on

[Baker]

How'd you go?

[beef]

i still cant do it, i dun know how to pull the ring of the tip off? is it screw or just pulloff? or do i just pull the whole thing out , i have given up on it , it seems harder than i thought

[Baker]

You just pull it straight out. It might be a bit stiff, but just give it a bit of force - even if you brake it, its only a $15 part (but you won't brake it!)

If its too hard for ya, give me the handbrake lever
