As Above I have a JCW Handbrake Handle to fit anyone know how to get the old one off ?

Not much help, but I got BMW to do mine and it took them 2 hours! That was to remove the old one, and fit a new JCW carbon fibre handbrake handle and alcantara handbrake gaitor. I also know the JCW one has to be glued on, if that is any help!

Yeah the Glue was in the box probably took that long because the glue had to set

I am tyring to do the above on Chilli - I do can do so much but have got stuck

I can remove the clip by the handbrake realese & the leather grip but no more - I tried the to prise of the other end nearest the gaitor but think the black section under the grip is stopping me. It appears i need to remove this part as i have a replacment but unsure how to remove.

Have asked for some instructions of someone else but think there for the r56

Want to see if i can do myself

I did a guide a while back in the DIY section, doesnt make much sence mind,
Just prise off the end, you have to force it but it will come off eventually, then the whole handle just slides off

As ^^ i can get the end of nearest the button & the grip, its the end nearest the gaitor/the part under the grip/leather i can remove!!!

Your diy guide if for the gaitor & not the handel isnt it

i done my gaitor and handle on sunday but hard to explain but i took my gaitor off to get the handle of because theres normally a cable tie holding it on

ahhhhh i see, i get the cable tiie connection now

not sure if i am brave enough to do it now thought this would b an easy mod

Well have to wait then

its a little difficut but not to bad maye do some reaserch maybe mini 2 or something

You have to take the hndle off first to get to the gaitor,
once the end part is off there is a clip that just needs to be pushed down and the whole handle will slide off

I did it on my 1st gen one

As max says, a little brute force is needed, I have plenty of it

All the above is correct, I just used some copydex to stick mine down

Must get around to ordering some ones for the clubman, where did you get yours from Max?

I need to do the same thing, and at the moment, don't have the nerve to try and take it off (just incase I can't get the new one on!!!!).
