E-brake handle rattle

JuRuKi · 06-13-2013, 12:43 PM

Does anyone else have this problem? Ever since i got my exhaust the e-brake handle rattles at a certain RPM its starting to get annoying. I tried looking at the DIY section if there was a thread on how to remove the e-brake handle but had no luck. I wanna disassemble it to see if i could fix it somehow.
Does anyone know how to remove it? TY!!

The base pops out if you squeeze. Then, if you just want to remove the handle, all you need to do is pull on it hard. Don't hit yourself in the face.

It will all pop off. You then need to cut the zip tie binds the base to the handle.

In a past car, I had to put some krytox 205 grease into the button spring of the ebrake, it is very annoying. krytox resists heat, has no smell and works well as a sound dampening agent.

Time to resurrect a 4-year-old thread. I have the same rattle. Have we gained any knowledge on this in four years? Can anyone else help with a good solution here?

Much appreciated.
