Changing handbrake button

[TraceyP]

Hi all, I want to change my handbrake button for a nice shiny chrome one, been told that it should unscrew but mine just seems to turn and click without coming off? Do I need to be more violent?!

 

[Geoff Crispin]

Violent ? your a lady cant get violent

 

[Geoff Crispin]

You are right thats what they say lots of turns, it may help if you pull it as you unscrew, might help Geoff

 

[t-tony]

What position is the lever in as you're trying to unscrew it?

Tony.

 

[Geoff Crispin]

Tony do you think that it should be on ? Geoff

 

[TraceyP]

Violent ? your a lady cant get violent

Ha ha!!! Not so sure about that lol

Ah didn't think of that, the handbrake was on when I was trying?

 

[t-tony]

OK. Well that should be best then as it holds some pressure on the release mechanism. I would try clamping some "Mole" grips onto the button so you can pull and twist at the same time. Be very careful that they don't come off and hit you in the face though.

Tony.

That would be called a smash hit

I'll have you know I fitted my aerial and chrome dial rings all by myself .... while he fixed the seat bushes and recliner lever ;-)

Thinking about that it should be the bishop talking

 

[Ianmc]

Could be a female bishop

 

[Geoff Crispin]

Yes thats true, but I think when the saying first came out bishops were mainly male I think
