Ive been lurking here for a while, and finally wasnt able to find the answer to one of my questions by searching. I'm "restoring" my 94 si 4ws and purchased a new e brake button, among other things, from honda since the chrome is peeling off on my current one. After searching for how to remove the button i havnt found any answers, except for the 3rd gen it appears to be threaded on.

Any info would be much appreciated!!

lol its SOOO easy. the chrome piece just screws out. you can buy them new from anywhere or get them from an auto car that has a barely used ebrake. i used adjustable pliers and some electrical tape to get mine out, and then i just tightened the new one with my hand as tight as i could and used the pliers lighty to try and snug it up.

Wow, kudos for the detail there!! I'm playing around with everything on the car but never bothered with the e-brake button. Not that the e-brake really works that well though LOL

But as the others say, I wish things like that were the sorta things I worried about!!

nah, actually i took mine out of my auto 93 ebrake. since its the same part and my car used to be auto, the button was near perfect, so i just switched them. i did scratch it a bit but ill replace it again someday. most people wont see it but me.

but yes, for future reference, most hondas use the same part..most likely just by looking at it you could tell. i know my moms 98 accord has the same part.

I can't see the pic :(

EDIT:

Very nice! I actually hate how in the button is stock, my thumb gets pinched inbetween the button and the handle and it hurts like a bitch! On the supra it sticks out more like yours and I love it!!
