Shift knob + E break installation question

Carm325i · #1 (**permalink**) 09-19-2005, 12:17 PM

I just got my ACS shift knob and E brake

and i was just wonderin' if anyone could give me some advice for installation...

my existing shift knob comes off very easily, so im assuming i just put the new one on and tighten the screws with the little allen wrench it came with.

my problem is pretty much with the E brake... putting the new one on shouldnt be bad, but i dunno how to remove the OEM E brake

thanks for your help guys

from what i can remember, you just gotta pull that mambajamba off. pull the ebrake as upright as possible, and pull that sucker off (twist and pull

)-careful not to hit yourself in ther face. i don't think there are any set screws holding the oem one in, but someone correct me if i'm wrong.

thats what i figured, and i tried it, but i kinda feel that the handle might be sewn to the bag or something, anyone ever have that problem?

is it me..
or i am sick of people not searching.
And buying this kind of accessory/upgrade and not knowing how to install them?
for me, i'd like to know how the fuck to install it, and what it does before i buy the item.
but look luck with the install

must be you b/c no one else on this forum seems to have a problem helping others out with quick simple advice... its not like im installing a turbo... and for the record, i did search DTM but nothing came up regarding the install... and im pretty sure i know what a shift knob and e brake is and does

and i already successfully installed both

thanks
