- Fri Sep 05, 2008 4:33 am #68439 im trying to put on some ebrake handle on my dx but the outer housing is hard plastic-ish and made it hard to cut off with even a razor blade....any ideas on how to remove/cut this part out?....

- Fri Sep 05, 2008 4:48 am #68442 something with a serrated blade or edge... an actual razor blade wont cut through....

- Mon Sep 08, 2008 2:45 am #68769 what i did was i took a flathead screwdriver and a propain toruch and heated the screwdriver up and melted the plastic then took the screw driver and used it as a chissel and hit it with a hammer and worked it off.... kind of a caveman way of doing it but it worked

- Mon Sep 08, 2008 11:03 am #68809 less of a mess? EPIC... i like that idea haha

- Mon Sep 08, 2008 7:59 pm #68888 o yea you get one ir two pieces

- Mon Sep 08, 2008 8:04 pm #68891 Use a juniour hacksaw? ..... angle grinder... j/k

- Tue Sep 09, 2008 2:42 am #68943 thanks guys for the awesome advice and replies....i ennded up using a cutsaw and jus "cut" thru the front housing and when its down to the metal part i jus "cut" a lil bit more then i use a screwdriver and wiggle it around ....not done yet but ill keep at it tomorrow...word of advice: pull handle up, i was sucha dumba55 and did it when it was down (disengaged ebrake)...

look at that ugly seat



hope this helps ya, i think this is a ractive ebrake, but it does say anything on it, nice n clean. automatic shifter was in when i bought it but i have more to worry about.
