United-Kingdom how to fit handbrake gater and handle

I have just had to replace the gater due to a big tear developing over the last few years and I have only just got round to replacing it. I got the part direct from bmw and it comes complete with the new handle. I'm nowhere near good with cars but asked the guy at bmw how to fit it. he said it would be simple that all the old handle would just slide off and the new one would replace it......
So tonight I have tried this, the first part of the handle comes off fine, but the next part just won't budge, the clips to push in don't push in.
How do I get it off??? Please help as I am now missing a gater and it looks very ugly.

Look at those and let me know if you have any further questions. I replaced mine with real leather and it was pretty easy.
