How to replace boots for DCT and e-brake?

[Hujan]

Got the iND tri-stitched boots for my DCT and e-brake. Not sure how to remove the OEM ones. I searched for threads on this but came up empty. I saw a lot of posts describing it as very easy, but nothing about how to actually do it. Any ideas?

ebrake is easy just pull on it and it pops off the handle but remember to unclip the boot first. its easily just a pull off item.

the shifter i don't know.

The DCT boot is simply snapped in place. You can gently pull it off or use a trim removal tool to pop it off... IND sends you the entire OEM kit so it simply snaps back in.

FYI on the e-brake boot. You will need a small zip tie to secure the new boot to the handle. Pretty sure IND includes one but I recall my IND kit came without one. Had one in the house so not an issue...

This is a DIY for a MT boot but getting the original off is the same process. Once off it is a simple plug in and re-install the boot by snapping back into place.

DCT Knob comes off by pulling it with some force, be careful you dont punch yourself on the chin

Thanks for the replies everyone, especially the link kscarrol. I'll be sure to watch my face with the DCT knob. The iND DCT boot should be here tomorrow.

Followed these directions and it was very easy. The hardest part was zip-tying the e-brake boot to the handle. It's funny because I went to work on it just now (10:00 p.m.) and forgot that I needed a zip tie. I thought, "Where am I going to find a zip tie now?" Then I remembered my old tool kit when I was a bike mechanic. (Haven't turned those wrenches in years!) Rooted around until I found one of my old tool boxes, opened it, dug around, and sure enough: a single zip tie!

It was a ///Miracle.
