replace parking brake handle?

How easy is it to replace the parking brake handle in an M235?

I was thinking about something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400881408580

Not too hard at all:

- Loosen the clips around the boot
- Peel the boot off towards the handle
- Cut the zip strip near the actual handle
- Wiggle the handle off
- Insert the new handle
- Attach the clips of the new handle
- Enjoy

Just know that the "wiggle the handle off" step takes some patience. Rock the handle from side to side over and over while slightly pulling forward. It takes awhile but it will eventually come loose.

I recently replaced mine. I saw the one you're looking at. It's pretty cool. You'll have to let us know if it matches the coral red. I ended up going with an aluminum handle.
