How do you remove the emergency brake handle? I'm getting ready to send it in for recovering, but I'm not certain how it comes off. It looks like a rivet is holding it to the metal handle part. Do you drill out the rivet? Any idea what size bit to use so I don't damage anything? Also, how do you reinstall? A new rivet with a rivet gun? What size rivet?

Hmm, that turned into a lot more than 1 question there.

 

It's only held in place with one screw and then it slides right off.

 

You are most definately correct. I went back out there, pulled the handle up and actually looked in the hole with a flashlight. Philips head screwdriver. That's what I get for not actually looking closely enough into the hole. Simple then!
